The Conde Valdemar Gran Reserva Rioja DOC 2017 is a mature, top-quality wine from the heart of La Rioja, Spain's most traditional wine region. The Bujanda family, owners of the renowned Conde Valdemar winery, can look back on over 130 years of winemaking history and is one of the region's style-defining wineries. This Gran Reserva comes from the Rioja Alta region and stands for elegant, classically vinified Rioja with plenty of depth and ageing potential.

The cuvée consists of Tempranillo, Graciano, Garnacha and the indigenous Maturana variety - an exciting interplay that combines complexity, fruit and ageing potential. The vines thrive on clay soils that provide structure and substance to the wine. After fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the wine is matured for 25 months in French and American oak, which gives it depth, elegance and fine flavour. Sealed with natural cork and with ageing potential until at least 2027, this wine is an ideal representative of the classic Rioja style with a modern twist.

Tasting Note

In the glass, the Gran Reserva presents itself in a warm garnet red colour with a slight hint of maturity. The nose is characterised by intense spice, cedar wood and a hint of Maggi herb, accompanied by a fine mix of berries. The wine is harmonious on the palate, with perfectly integrated tannins and gentle ripeness. Aromas of prune, coconut and stewed cherries complement the complex flavour profile and ensure a long, elegant finish with classic Rioja character.

Acidity: 5.82 g/l

Residual sugar: 2.15 g/l

The Conde Valdemar Gran Reserva is the ideal accompaniment to mature hard cheese, braised beef or lamb, game dishes, tapas with Jamón Ibérico or a hearty mushroom paella. It also unfolds its aromatic depth with dark chocolate or a cigar after a meal. A perfect red wine for special occasions, festive dinners or as a stylish gift for lovers of top Spanish wines.
