Vintage Report

The 2017 vintage in Rioja has received an outstanding rating of 95 points in the Robert Parker Vintage Chart. The wines are currently still somewhat youthful and tannic, which ensures great aging potential and a slow, beautiful development.

A unique wine, Valdemar's flagship, this Rioja Gran Reserva. Aged for an impressive 26 months in oak barrels, it has developed into a top-notch wine! This magnificent wine is made from the classic grapes Tempranillo, Mazuelo, and Graciano, a trio that complements each other perfectly. This red from Bodegas Valdemar is the perfect choice for all wine lovers who appreciate even the slightest sweetness. It is never stark or brittle, but round and supple. The texture of this well-balanced red wine is wonderfully velvety and dense on the palate. A delightful, high-quality wine!

30 months of wood aging for the Gran Reserva

The basis for the balanced Conde Valdemar Gran Reserva Rioja from La Rioja is grapes from the Graciano and Tempranillo varieties. After harvesting, the grapes quickly reach the winery. Here, they are selected and carefully crushed. This is followed by fermentation in oak barrels at controlled temperatures. Vinification is followed by 30 months of aging in French oak barrels.

The delicious aromas of Conde Valdemar Rioja Gran Reserva

This exceptionally well-rounded wine boasts a beautiful bouquet of highly concentrated black fruit, butterscotch, caramel, and lovely hints of vanilla, wood, and spice. The palate of this Conde de Valdemar Rioja Gran Reserva is powerful, thanks in part to the oak aging and the bottle aging. After aging in oak barrels, the wine is then bottle-aged for three years in Valdemar's cellars. This results in a top-class wine with aromas of black fruit, tobacco, chocolate, vanilla, wood, and so much more. Be sure to open this Valdemar Gran Reserva well in advance, as it needs plenty of air to fully develop. The finish is long and rich, with a lovely, slightly creamy finish—in short, a gem of a Rioja.
