Bodegas Valdemar Conde Valdemar Rioja Crianza 2020 is a polished, modern classic Rioja that delivers everything you want from the style: vibrant Tempranillo led fruit, refined oak influence and a smooth, supple structure. Released with extra time to integrate, it shows dark berries and cherry framed by vanilla spice complexity, finishing savoury and composed an easy crowd pleaser that still feels unmistakably Rioja.

Tasting Notes

• Aroma: Ripe red and dark berries, cherry and plum with vanilla, sweet spice and subtle smoky oak.

• Palate: Medium-bodied and smooth, layering cherry/plum fruit with toasted oak nuance and supple tannins.

• Finish: Long, savoury and persistent with lingering spice and polished structure.

Food Pairing / Serving Suggestions

Serve at 16–18°C. Great alongside grilled lamb, roast chicken, chorizo, mushroom dishes, or hard cheeses. A short decant will help the spice and fruit open up.
