Conde Valdemar Gran Reserva Rioja 2017  £19.43

CONDE VALDEMAR GRAN RESERVA

When the passion for innovation is combined with respect for tradition, Conde Valdemar is born, producing wines that showcase the virtues of this land: the land of the Rioja.

Combining the ability to look to the future with keeping their history alive, to create, among others, the first barrel fermented white in Spain, Conde Valdemar Finca Alto Cantabria, or the first barrel-aged varietal Garnacha.

True to their most traditional and timeless line. Wines that persist in time, that blend the clear and clean fruit with a balanced power and structure, while underscoring the freshness and subtlety characteristic of this area.

The great jewel of the winery. The elegance of the Tempranillo grape is very well displayed in this rounded, tasty wine rich in aromas and nuances. Bodegas Valdemar is one of the most prestigious wineries and with more history in making Grandes Reservas of Rioja.

It has a bright red cherry colour. It is expressive with spicy notes and a touch of creamy oak. Very elegant, complex nose. It is round and full-flavoured in mouth, tasty and balanced. The finish is long, lingering and silky.

This wine matches perfectly with red meat, stews and roasted food as well as game. Particularly suited for cold meats and dry cheeses.
