The combination of wine tradition and research
The Valdemar winery is a family-owned winery 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 defining features from the outset. Bodega Valdemar has become a key benchmark in the Rioja wine region, thanks in no small part to an unparalleled combination of long-standing winemaking tradition and constant research, which allows the winery to produce wines of the highest quality. The winery's wines are made exclusively from grapes grown on its own vineyards.
This rosé wine clearly focuses on one grape variety: Garnacha. Only impeccable grapes were harvested for this exceptionally balanced, single-varietal wine from Bodegas Valdemar. After harvesting, the grapes reach the press as quickly as possible. Here, they are selected and carefully crushed. This is followed by twenty days of fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 16 degrees Celsius. Afterward, the Conde Valdemar Rioja Rosado can continue to harmonize on the fine lees for several months.
What does the Conde Valdemar Rioja Rosé taste like?
The color is so beautiful, a soft pink with an orange glow. A rosé made with a red grape, Garnacha, and a white grape, Viura, that makes it truly special! The Garnacha provides the strength, and the Viura adds the freshness and softness to this Conde de Valdemar rosé. The entire glass of rosé is a real treat, as the aroma is indescribably beautiful, with hints of berries, strawberries, and raspberries complemented by citrus and flowers. The palate of this Conde de Valdemar Rosé Rioja is full-bodied and ripe, crisp and dry with notes of red and citrus fruit, and subtle hints of mint and pink acidity!
