The Valdemar winery is a family business with origins dating back to 1889. The current owner, Jesús Martínez Bujanda, began construction of the current winery in 1982. Modern facilities and innovative winemaking methods have been among the winery's key features from the outset.
This Spanish powerhouse is a cuvée made from the Garnacha, Graciano, and Tempranillo grape varieties. After harvest, the grapes quickly reach the winery. Here, they are selected and carefully crushed. This is followed by fermentation in large oak barrels at controlled temperatures. Afterward, the Conde Valdemar Reserva Rioja is aged for 26 months in French and American oak barrels, followed by two months of bottle aging in the Valdemar cellars.
The aroma reveals a deep, rich aroma of black fruit like cherries, blackberries, and currants, complemented by vanilla and woody notes, as well as spice and tobacco. These concentrated notes are also evident in the taste of this Conde de Valdemar Reserva. Beautiful tannins and spices of clove, pepper, and bay leaf complete the whole. We can confidently call it a top Rioja!
