Conde Valdemar - Tempranillo

2019

Tempranillo 

Rioja, Spain

The 2019 Conde Valdemar Tempranillo is a beautifully balanced Rioja red from the fifth-generation Martínez Bujanda family, who have been crafting wines in the region for over a century. Sourced from vineyards in Rioja Alta and Alavesa, this vintage reflects a warm, dry growing season that produced small, concentrated berries and exceptionally pure fruit. Aged in a mix of American and French oak, the wine shows inviting aromas of black cherry, plum, and cassis, layered with vanilla, clove, and subtle tobacco. Medium-bodied with silky tannins, it offers a long, savory finish that’s both classic and approachable. Enjoy it with lamb chops, chorizo, patatas bravas, or aged regional cheese, like Manchego.
