Condado de Haza is a Ribera del Duero region winery founded by Alejandro Fernandez, who also started Tinto Pesquera in the same region. Fernandez noticed an abandoned hillside on the river bank in the 1980s that he believed would be ideal as a vineyard. After years of negotiations, Fernandez purchased the hillside and named the property after the nearby town of de Haza. The hillside is now covered in nearly 450 acres of Tempranillo vineyards, which produced the estate’s first vintage in 1994.
