The Conde Valdemar Reserva Rioja DOC 2019, 14% ABV, in a 0.75-litre bottle, is a classic and superbly structured Rioja Reserva from Spain, which impressively reflects the elegance and ageing potential of the famous Rioja wine region. Produced by the renowned Bodegas Valdemar winery, this high-quality Spanish red wine blends the Tempranillo, Graciano, Garnacha and Maturana grape varieties into a complex and characterful cuvée. The vines grow on the typical clay-limestone soils of Rioja, which lend the wines structure, depth and a distinct sense of terroir.


Vinification begins with temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks to optimally preserve the freshness and fruit of the grapes. The wine is then aged for 18 months in French and American oak barrels, resulting in additional complexity, elegance and subtle oak notes. With an alcohol content of 14% ABV, the Conde Valdemar Reserva 2019 is powerful, harmonious and multi-layered. The long barrel ageing ensures a perfect balance of fruit, spice and structure. This Rioja Reserva DOCa has excellent ageing potential and, if stored correctly, can be enjoyed until at least 2030. The high-quality natural cork supports the wine’s further development in the bottle, making it an excellent choice for lovers of classic Spanish red wines.
