Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

Condado De Haza Crianza Ribera del Duero greets the palate with a plush, velvety texture that makes it an inviting choice for cozy dinners or celebratory gatherings. With an ABV of 14.5%, this Spanish red is crafted from 100% Tempranillo grapes grown in the heart of Ribera del Duero, where the continental climate and careful aging in American oak barrels shape its character.

In each glass, you’ll find deep flavors of ripe blackberries, plums, and subtle hints of vanilla and spice. The wine’s firm tannins and balanced acidity make it a perfect companion for roasted lamb, enhancing the meat’s savory richness. It also pairs beautifully with Manchego cheese, as its fruit-forward profile complements the cheese’s nutty notes while cleansing the palate between bites.
