Conde Valdemar Viura-Verdejo
85% Viura, 15% Verdejo
Straightforward winemaking is used to keep the fruit to the fore:
temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel, no oak ageing,
and early bottling to capture the freshness of this blend.
Fresh, intense aromas of fruits and white flowers, dominated by apple
and pear nuances. Fruity and fresh on the palate with a crisp finish.
Conde Valdemar T empranillo
100% Tempranillo
Straightforward winemaking is used to keep the fruit to the fore:
temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel, no oak ageing, and
early bottling to capture the vibrant berry quality of the Tempranillo.
Lovely smooth young Rioja, with bright cranberry/cherry fruit, a violet
aroma, and some creaminess on the finish.
Conde Valdemar Crianza
90% Tempranillo, 10% Graciano.
Following a traditional fermentation, the wine was for sixteen months in
American oak barrels.
Complex aromas of ripe black berries balanced with warm vanilla notes
and a touch of subtle spice. Excellent, rounded structure on the palate
with aromatic complexity lasting through to the finish.
Conde Valdemar Reserva
85% Tempranillo, 10% Graciano, 5% Garnacha.
Grapes for the Reserva are grown exclusively in Rioja Alavesa, and were
harvested in the second week of October.
This Reserva was aged for twenty-six months in barrel, with seventy
percent American and thirty percent French oak.
Complex aromas with subtle spicy notes and ripe black fruit touches,
leading to a generous, intense palate full of plums, raisins and chocolate.
Beautiful balance of fruit and oak, with a long, persistent finish.
