The region of El Condado de Huelva, located in the south-east of the province of Huelva, Spain, is renowned for its exquisite wines. The area is home to a variety of vineyards, each offering unique flavors and aromas that reflect the rich heritage and diverse terroir of the region.
The standout wines from El Condado de Huelva are the "Condado Viejo" and "Condado Pálido". The "Condado Viejo" wines are oxidation wines processed by the "solera" system, a method in which only one third of the sherry in a cask is drawn off at a time and passed to a different cask to age further. This process imparts a richness of bouquet and taste comparable with the "olorosos" of the rest of the area.
For those who prefer young wines, Huelva offers a good variety of agreeable young white wines that provide a good accompaniment for the area's seafood.
The Regulatory Council of Condado de Huelva's Designation of Origin authorizes the use of several grape varieties, including Zalema, Palomino, Moscatel, and Garrido Fino. The Zalema grape, native to Huelva, is particularly prominent in the region's vineyards.
A tour of the wines of Huelva could begin in Almonte and include Beas, Bollullos Par del Condado, Bonares, Chucena, Hinojos, La Palma del Condado, Lucena del Puerto, Manzanilla, Moguer, Niebla, Palos de la Frontera, Rociana del Condado, San Juan del Puerto, Trigueros, Villalba del Alcor, and Villarrasa.
