Why choose Conde Valdemar Rioja Reserva 2017?

This Rioja Reserva wine boasts a deep, bright cherry colour with enticing ruby reflections. On the nose, it offers an expressive bouquet of mixed berries, cassis, and ripe black fruit layered with subtle sweet spices, cocoa, toffee, and a hint of vanilla. Aged for 26 months in oak barrels (65% American, 35% French), this maturation adds sophisticated complexity, with fine notes of plums, raisins, chocolate, and toasted oak.

On the palate, expect a smooth, velvety texture with finely integrated tannins. Its well-balanced profile delivers richness and depth, leading to a long, elegant, and persistent finish.

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 both to keep quality consistent and to 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 is perfectly suited to the rediscovered Maturana grape, whilst Las Seis Alhajas, a little lower in altitude, is warm enough to bring the late-ripening Graciano to full maturity. These highly polished wines, made and aged in their own dedicated winery, perfectly demonstrate the region’s growing trend for producing site-specific wines of character and distinction.
