CONDADO DE HAZA '20 Aldeas' - Ribera del Duero (Tempranillo) 2018/19 Bottle - ORG

Description

Founded by the Fernández Rivera family in the early 1990s, the chateau-concept Condado de Haza offers a fascinating exploration of the terroir of Ribera del Duero. The vineyards are huddled close to the winery, which was dug directly into a hillside in a cooler northern part of the the appellation, in the Burgos province. Produced in exactly the same way as the wines of Pesquera, the vineyards here produce a more taut, structured style of Tempranillo. Intense aroma of black fruits, blackberries and a hint of dairy, with the liquorice characteristic of the Tempranillo grape variety, followed by toasted notes such as vanilla, caramel and lightly smokey notes from the ageing process in American oak barrels.
