Wine Description:
The Conde Valdemar Rioja Blanco Finca Alto Cantabria 2021 is a remarkable white wine showcasing the exceptional quality of Rioja's Alto Cantabria vineyard. With a radiant straw-yellow hue and greenish reflections, this wine is clean and bright, drawing attention right from the first glance. On the nose, it delivers a bouquet of vibrant white floral aromas, such as acacia blossom, intertwined with refreshing notes of white fruits like melon and pear. A touch of fine smokiness and a subtle, nutty background of hazelnut enhance its complexity. On the palate, this full-bodied wine is both rich and balanced, revealing a distinct saline minerality characteristic of the limestone-rich soils in which the Viura grapes are cultivated. The wine's vibrant acidity and fresh flavours lead to a long, exquisite finish, leaving a lasting impression.

Food Pairings:
The Conde Valdemar Rioja Blanco Finca Alto Cantabria 2021 is a versatile wine that pairs excellently with a range of dishes. It is an ideal accompaniment to delicate appetizers such as sushi, foie gras, and shellfish. It also complements baked white meats, white sauce pastas, roasted vegetables, and risotto beautifully.

Winery	The roots of Bodegas Valdemar go back to 1889, and Joaquin Martínez Bujanda, and it remains an independent estate committed to using 100% estate-grown fruit – a very unusual strategy in Rioja. Sourcing only from 290 hectares of estate vineyards has allowed Valdemar to keep quality consistent and experiment in great detail with different sites and obscure grape varieties. The range of wines makes the most of this consistency and flexibility, from unoaked entry-level Riojas bursting with flavour to dense, complex rarities that offer even the most hardened aficionado something new. Valdemar’s single-site expressions are of particular note. The high altitude Balcón de Pilatos vineyard perfectly suits the rediscovered Maturana grape. A little lower altitude, Las Seis Alhajas is warm enough to bring the late-ripening Graciano to full maturity. These highly polished wines, made and aged in their dedicated winery, perfectly demonstrate the region’s growing trend for producing site-specific wines of character and distinction.
