Conde Valdemar Crianza Rioja DOC 2021 14% Vol. 0,75l

The Conde Valdemar Crianza Rioja DOC 2021 (14% ABV) in a 0.75-liter 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 cuvee. The vines grow on characteristic clay-limestone soils, which lend the wines structure, elegance, and a distinct terroir character.

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