Detailed description

Did you know that …

The property has a continuous mantle of 200 hectares of excellent tempranillo vines. Alejandro Fernández’s vineyards grow since 1987 at the Duero’s bank, a land converted into mythic and at the side of poplars and willows,.

It was necessary to wait up to 1993 so that the Condado de Haza was a complete property, self-sufficient and in which all the process from the vine to the bottle takes place at home.

In order to make easy work and perfectionate wines, the structure of the winery was designed piercing a hill so that the premises of the crianza, where 3,000 new barrels and the bottle rack stay, keep natural conditions of ideal temperature and humidity with the aim of preserving the wine. All this inside a 200-metres-long tunnel and 30 metres underground and beneath the vineyard,

Manual harvesting and traditional making, with stalking and later alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel barrel.
