From prime estate vineyard sites in Spain’s Rioja Alavesa and Rioja Alta Bodegas Valdemar crafts its exceptional Conde Valdemar Reserva Rioja red wine. The selection of primarily Tempranillo with a touch of Mazuela, Garnacha, and Maturana ages in a blend of oak barrels for a minimum of 21 months, allowing the tannins to soften and become well-integrated into the luscious wine.

With full-bodied character, the nicely structured wine opens with aromas of blue and black fruits, licorice, and wild herbs that lead to heady flavors of woody herbs, blackberry, black plum, savory balsamic, toasted spice, and toffee. The wine is the perfect pairing with roasted meats, beef stew, grilled sausages, braised short ribs, or to toast your sweetie on Valentine’s Day.
