This wine is a testament to the expertise and dedication of the winemakers at Condado de Haza.

Tasting Notes

APPEARANCE - A clean, cherry-red colour. AROMAS - Intense aromas of ripe black fruits, such as blackberries and plums. Subtle balsamic hints come through mingling with the characteristic liquorice notes of the Tempranillo grape, followed by toasty, smoky, vanilla hints that come from the wine’s ageing in American oak barrels. PALATE - This is a powerful wine with a fleshy entry on the palate and very good balance between tannins and acidity. The mouth-feel is one of volume and abundant round tannins that fill the mouth with fruit flavour. The wine becomes smoother as it develops towards a long, pleasant finish with hints of roasted coffee beans and liquorice coming through.
