Palate: bright red cherry, gentle tannins, vanilla, fresh acidity

The accessible Roble from Alejandro Fernandez's Condado de Haza estate, with brief American oak showing fresh cherry, plum and coconut vanilla for early everyday drinking.

What it pairs with

  • Jamon iberico and bread
    Fresh cherry and vanilla complement the saline fat of sliced Iberico ham.
  • Patatas bravas
    Gentle tannins and fresh acidity pair well with the crispy spiced potato.
  • Grilled chicken wings
    Accessible fruit and low tannins match simple grilled poultry.

History

Condado de Haza Roble is the estate's entry-level label, introducing the classic Alejandro Fernandez American-oak style at a more accessible tier. Short 6-month American oak contact adds coconut vanilla without losing the wine's fruit freshness.
