Description
Conde Valdemar Crianza 2021 is one of the most representative and renowned wines from Bodegas Valdemar, a family with more than 130 years of history in the DOCa Rioja, currently in its fifth generation. A classic and timeless crianza that reflects the house's philosophy: own vineyards, respect for tradition, and a contemporary Riojan style.
Made mainly with Tempranillo (90%) and Graciano (10%) from the winery's own vineyards located in the towns of Oyón (Rioja Alavesa), Logroño, and Ausejo (Rioja Alta). The 2021 vintage was marked by balance and freshness, with a warm summer that allowed for slow and even ripening, concentrating the fruit expression and preserving a very pleasant natural acidity.
The winemaking combines tradition and innovation: harvesting at the optimal stage of ripeness, fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Subsequently, the wine undergoes 13 months of aging in American oak barrels, where it acquires its characteristic nuances of vanilla, coconut, and sweet spices, perfectly integrated with the fruit. It completes its evolution with bottle aging before going to market.
Of medium-to-high-bodied cherry-red color, clean and bright. On the nose, complex and intense: notes of fresh red fruits (blackcurrants, blueberries, cherry) predominate, well integrated with oak memories—vanilla, coconut, sweet spices—and licorice nuances. On the palate, the entry is luscious, approachable, and fresh, with good structure, round tannins, and a long, persistent finish with memories of black fruits and spices.
Serving temperature: 16°C. Ideal for grilled meats, stews, roasts, aged cheeses, cured meats, and game dishes. A versatile and very well-balanced Riojan red for everyday enjoyment.
