\u201cVino Naranja del Condado de Huelva\u201d orange aromatized wine is a unique product with a specific historical tradition in the local region. There are highly renowned wineries such as Bodegas del Diezmo Nuevo, which was founded in 1770 in Moguer, that brought this type of wine out onto the market in 1860 with great acceptance in the local region as reflected by Juan Ram\u00f3n Jim\u00e9nez in his book \u201cPlatero y yo\u201d. Other wineries in the Condado area, mainly family-operated ones, were already selecting the best grapes in the early 20th century for use in making this \u201cOrange Wine\u201d product which they would sell after years of aging in the oak barrels on the lowest rows of their solera system. \u201cVino Naranja del Condado de Huelva\u201d is essentially known for the natural environment in which it is produced and aged with significant and unique influences from nearby Do\u00f1ana National Park, which is considered one of Europe\u2019s lungs. Thus, the Condado de Huelva area is often called the \u201cEntorno de Do\u00f1ana\u201d.<\/p>\n

Aware of the need to produce vines and make wine in line with quality criteria and try to recover the glory of the past, the Designation of Origin Huelva was created.

Likewise, five red wine grape varieties are now covered: Syrah, Tempranillo, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. On the other hand, the new white wine grape varieties covered by these specifications for producing Young Fruity White Wines from the Condado are: Colombard, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. At the same time, the all-new bittersweet vinegar from the Condado may include liqueur wines in the aging process; specifically, Pedro Xim\u00e9nez and Muscat.<\/p>\nThe most recent history of our Designation of Origin culminates with the publication of the all-new Andalusian Designation of Origin\u201cVino Naranja del Condado de Huelva\u201d (Condado de Huelva Orange Wine) in the Official Gazette of the Government of Andalusia on 14 July 2011<\/strong>.

World-renowned<\/p>\n\t<\/div>[vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1635325803116{margin-top: -7px !important;}”]Recent historical studies prove the ties with the area of Condado de Huelva, formerly known as Condado de Niebla, as one of the main wine suppliers during the Race for Spices According to such research, this wine trade tradition dates back to the very first vines that were planted by the Master of the Order of Calatrava, Don Juan Mestre, who commenced the resettlement of Villalba del Alcor in 1327<\/strong>. . It was after that time when this villa began gaining in importance in the sale and transport of wine, especially to the city of Seville.<\/p>\n Documents recovered from the General Archives of the Indies speak of the expected arrival of Villalba wines in the New World in 1494 and 1495<\/strong> with the registration of the purchase of several batches of wine to supply the caravels of Bartolom\u00e9 Col\u00edn, Juan Luzero, Bartolom\u00e9 de Le\u00e7a, Fernando P\u00e9rez, and those of Berardi.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner css=”.vc_custom_1613474544343{padding-top: 190px !important;padding-right: 8px !important;padding-left: 4.5% !important;}” offset=”vc_col-lg-6″ column_responsive_padding_1024=”0px 6.5% 100px” column_responsive_padding_680=”100px 6.5% 90px” column_responsive_padding_768=”0px 6.5% 100px”] The second half of the 18th century saw the start of the fall of this wine trade with the Indies from the port of Seville after the House of Trade was transferred to Cadiz. Wines from the Condado were taken to the ports of C\u00e1diz, Puerto Real, Puerto de Santa Mar\u00eda and Sanl\u00facar \u2013with manzanilla wines particularly being brought to the latter\u2013, to be taken to the Americas.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner row_content_width=”grid”][vc_column_inner css=”.vc_custom_1619439847012{padding-right: 8.5% !important;padding-bottom: 70px !important;padding-left: 22px !important;}” offset=”vc_col-lg-6″ column_responsive_padding_1366=”175px 11.5% 126px 0″ column_responsive_padding_1440=”175px 11.5% 126 px” column_responsive_padding_1024=”125px 6.5% 126px” column_responsive_padding_768=”125px 6.5% 126px” column_responsive_padding_680=”0px 6.5% 0px”] The history continues<\/p>\n\t<\/div>[vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1635325160505{margin-top: -7px !important;}”]The end of the century was marked by the arrival of the wealth and business of Riojan winemaking families in the local region \u2013including the family of Juan Ram\u00f3n Jim\u00e9nez who brought plenitude to this area once again in the 19th century. However, a phylloxera plague in the final years of the century led to another decline in the local region that lasted until approximately the 1920s. Aware of the need to produce vines and make wine in line with quality criteria and try to recover the glory of the past, the Designation of Origin Huelva was created. In 1932<\/strong>, by means of a decree dated 8 September, which was published in the Madrid Gazette on 13 September, the Wine Statute was approved and then signed into law on26 May 1933.<\/strong> This publication covered the Designations of Origin approved by the statute which continue to be maintained today. It was this legislation that regularized the Designation of Origin status for wine for the first time ever in Spain. In the specific case of Condado de Huelva, the foundation of the organization and institution that would supervise the Designation of Origin was recognized on 4 December 1933.<\/strong><\/p>\n Another step towards recognition for the quality and winemaking traditions of Condado de Huelva came with the creation of the Designation of Origin Vinagre del Condado de Huelva, which was approved by Order of the Regional Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries on 31 July 2002.<\/strong><\/p>\n The end of the century was marked by the arrival of the wealth and business of Riojan winemaking families in the local region \u2013including the family of Juan Ram\u00f3n Jim\u00e9nez who brought plenitude to this area once again in the19th century<\/strong>. However, a phylloxera plague in the final years of the century led to another decline in the local region that lasted until approximately the 1920s. The most recent history of our Designation of Origin culminates with the publication of the all-new Andalusian Designation of Origin\u201cVino Naranja del Condado de Huelva\u201d (Condado de Huelva Orange Wine) in the Official Gazette of the Government of Andalusia on 14 July 2011<\/strong>. This publication acknowledges Orange Wine as an aromatized wine in accordance with Regulation (EEC) 1601\/91. The latest evolution in the Regulatory Board\u2019s guidelines came with the publication of new specifications for PDO \u201cCondado de Huelva\u201d in the Official Gazette of the Government of Andalusia on 9 November 2020<\/strong>, with new modifications such as:<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1635246196914{margin-top: 50px !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;background-image: url(https:\/\/docondadodehuelva.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/vinculosHistoricos3.jpg?id=6512) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1619440794579{padding-top: 0px !important;}” column_responsive_padding_680=”0″][vc_row_inner row_content_width=”grid”][vc_column_inner css=”.vc_custom_1618496283487{padding-top: 175px !important;padding-right: 15% !important;padding-bottom: 126px !important;padding-left: 22px !important;}” offset=”vc_col-lg-8″ column_responsive_padding_1366=”175px 11.5% 126px 0″ column_responsive_padding_1440=”175px 11.5% 126 px” column_responsive_padding_1024=”125px 6.5% 126px” column_responsive_padding_768=”125px 6.5% 126px” column_responsive_padding_680=”125px 6.5% 0px”] Orange wine<\/p>\n\t<\/div>[vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1635325953310{margin-top: -7px !important;}”]<\/p>\n \u201cVino Naranja del Condado de Huelva\u201d orange aromatized wine is a unique product with a specific historical tradition in the local region.

Other wineries in the Condado area, mainly family-operated ones, were already selecting the best grapes in the early 20th century<\/strong>for use in making this \u201cOrange Wine\u201d product which they would sell after years of aging in the oak barrels on the lowest rows of their solera system.<\/p>\n \u201cVino Naranja del Condado de Huelva\u201d is essentially known for the natural environment in which it is produced and aged with significant and unique influences from nearby Do\u00f1ana National Park, which is considered one of Europe\u2019s lungs. Thus, the Condado de Huelva area is often called the \u201cEntorno de Do\u00f1ana\u201d.<\/p>\n For these reasons, the name \u201cVino Naranja del Condado de Huelva\u201d can only be used for aromatized wines that meet all the specifications for the Protected Designation of Origin produced by the companies that are registered with the Regulatory Board as the body responsible for managing the new designation.<\/p>\n In all, the recognition granted to this wine from Huelva is due to the \u201cspecificity and long historical winemaking tradition\u201d in the geographic area established for the production and aging of \u201cVino Naranja del Condado de Huelva\u201d, a notorious wine of prestige among consumers for two centuries.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\t
\nRecovery began with the introduction of resistant rootstock, but the wines in this area had lost the prestige they had enjoyed centuries before and simply supplied the national territory until well into the 20th century.<\/p>\n

Thus, there are four types of protected red wines: Young \u2013 from the same year\u2019s harvest \u2013 as well as Crianza, Reserva and Gran Reserva, with each category depending on the aging time and method used. Likewise, five red wine grape varieties are now covered: Syrah, Tempranillo, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. On the other hand, the new white wine grape varieties covered by these specifications for producing Young Fruity White Wines from the Condado are: Colombard, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. At the same time, the all-new bittersweet vinegar from the Condado may include liqueur wines in the aging process; specifically, Pedro Xim\u00e9nez and Muscat.<\/p>\n
