The Conde Valdemar Crianza Rioja DOC 2021, 14% ABV, in a 0.75 l bottle, is a classic and expressive Rioja Crianza from Spain that impressively reflects the tradition and quality of the famous Rioja wine region. Produced by the renowned Bodegas Valdemar winery, this high-quality Spanish red wine blends the Tempranillo, Mazuelo and Graciano grape varieties into a harmonious and complex cuvée. The vines grow on characteristic clay-limestone soils, which lend the wines structure, elegance and a distinct terroir character.


Vinification takes place via temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks, which optimally preserves the fruit aromas. The wine then matures for 13 months in American oak barrels, lending it additional complexity, subtle spice and an elegant structure. With an alcohol content of 14% vol., the Conde Valdemar Crianza 2021 is powerful, balanced and typical of a high-quality Rioja DOCa red wine. The combination of dark fruit, subtle oak notes and harmonious tannins makes this Spanish Crianza a versatile accompaniment to food. When stored correctly, this wine has ageing potential until at least 2030. The synthetic cork ensures reliable ageing and preserves the wine’s quality over the long term.
