Description:
This white from Bodegas Valdemar is just right for all wine drinkers who like as little residual sweetness in the wine as possible. At the same time, it never appears meager or brittle, but round and smooth. On the palate, the texture of this light-footed white wine is wonderfully light. Due to its lively fruit acidity, the Conde Valdemar Blanco Rioja presents itself impressively fresh and lively on the palate. In the finish, this white wine from the wine-growing region of La Rioja finally inspires with considerable length. Again, hints of orange and lemon show up
The elegant Conde Valdemar Blanco Rioja from Spain is a cuvée, pressed from the grape varieties Sauvignon Blanc, Tempranillo Blanco, Verdejo and Viura. After harvesting, the grapes are taken to the press house by the fastest route. Here they are selected and carefully milled. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Fermentation is followed by aging on the fine lees for several months before the wine is finally drawn off.
Tasting Notes:
Pale yellow in colour with greenish reflections, clean and bright. On the nose, it shows an intense and fresh aroma with a well-integrated herbal character. Notes of white fruit such as pear and stone fruit stand out, accompanied by subtle floral hints in the background.
On the palate, it offers a smooth and appealing entry, with fresh fruit notes and a long, pleasant finish.
Food Matches: An excellent companion for seafood and raw fish such as sushi or tuna tartare, where its freshness and aromatic profile enhance the delicacy of the dish. It also pairs beautifully with smoked fish and vegetable creams, bringing balance and freshness to the overall experience.
