Product Description
Details

An all-time Rioja classic, Conde Valdemar Reserva is a blend of Tempranillo, Graciano and Mazuelo.

The grapes of this Spanish red wine come from vineyards scattered over the three subzones of the Rioja DO.

Vinification was carried out in stainless steel tanks. After that, the resulting wine was aged for 27 months in 65% American and 35% French oak barrels. Bottled in March 2016, this reserve red wine was further aged in the bottle for 24 months.

Drink this wine of Bodegas Valdemar until 2024.

Nose

This Reserve red wine from La Rioja shows well-balanced aromas of redcurrants, blackberries and strawberries, mingled with some touches of clove, vanilla, cinnamon over a peppery background.

 

Palate

This blend of Tempranillo, Graciano & Mazuelo by Bodegas Valdemar is well-structured and mature, with a very good acidity and some smooth tannins. Wild berries, Eastern spices, balsam and undergrowth. Long, delicately bitter finish.

I like this traditional Rioja very much. Cranberries, leather, cardamom and nutmeg. Easy on the palate, but not diluted.
