General Information
With its 200 hectares of vineyards all on the same estate, Condado de Haza is the biggest ‘château’ winery in Ribera del Duero. This iconic firm has earned international fame for its reds, which express the full potential of the Tempranillo variety. The third vintage of its organic wine is now here: 20 Aldeas 2020, a modern, elegant red that’s a faithful expression of the terroir it comes from thanks to the organic farming practised in this genuine château in Ribera del Duero.
The vineyards in question (a total of 164 hectares) lie in a privileged area of the part of the Ribera del Duero in the province of Burgos, between Roa and La Horra. They’re planted with old vines (30 years) that grow at an altitude of 800 metres and yield grapes of very high quality. The wines are made using traditional methods, including destemming and spontaneous alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel vats. This one was matured for 11 months in American oak barrels.
Owned by the Fernández Rivera family, Condado de Haza has been one of the most iconic Ribera del Duero firms for the past quarter-century. Located in Roa, beside the river Duero, it’s designed in the style of a Bordeaux château, with the vineyards surrounding the facilities. The estate, planted with nearly 200 hectares of Tempranillo vines, stretches across a south-facing hillside with poor soils. Its wines enjoy well-deserved fame; for example, the prestigious American magazine Wine Spectator judged Condado de Hazo to be the best Ribera del Duero on its Top 100 list in 2016.
20 Aldeas 2020 is ideal with risotto or chicken stuffed with mushrooms.
The winery
Condado de Haza is the second winery of the Familia Fernández Rivera in Ribera del Duero. Following the success of the parent winery (Tinto Pesquera), this family decided to expand its legacy. They found the ideal location on a hillside with poor soils and perfect orientation along the banks of the Duero River, in the municipality of Roa (Burgos), where the first vines were planted in 1987. On the same estate stands the winery, inspired by French ‘châteaux,’ with a structure designed by carving into a hill. Additionally, it features an underground bottle cellar where the wines rest in perfect conditions.
In 2008, the international prestige of the winery took a significant leap when Condado de Haza Crianza was included by Wine Spectator magazine among the 100 best wines in the world. Today, the winery has 200 hectares of vineyards, all of the tempranillo variety, the signature grape of the Familia Fernández Rivera. Its wines are made exclusively from estate-grown grapes. It produces the brands Condado de Haza Crianza, Condado de Haza Reserva Especial, and Alenza. These are red wines with long aging in oak, earning acclaim from both national and international critics.
