Condado de Haza 2016 Crianza Tempranillo Ribera del Duero DO, Spain

Description

Lying in the coldest region of the four estates, Condado de Haza is the last winery of the Familia Fernandez Rivera to begin harvest. The finished wine is aged for 18 months in American oak barrels and 6 months in the bottle before releasing to the market. This red from Condado de Haza was thought of as a more modern style from this region in the 1980s; however, today’s modern style makes this bottling seem quite reserved and balanced in style. Full of black berried fruits, good tannins, and still robust but with a good dose of freshness that balances the wine marvelously.

NOTE: This is NOT a Firstleaf Exclusive Wine.
