Conde Valdemar Rioja Blanco 2025
Conde Valdemar Rioja Blanco is a bright, aromatic Spanish white wine crafted by the fifth-generation Valdemar family in the heart of Rioja. Pioneering modern white winemaking in the region, the estate blends native Viura and Tempranillo Blanco grapes with aromatic Verdejo and Sauvignon Blanc, all picked from cool vineyard plots during the freshness of the early morning. Fermenting the juice at cool temperatures in stainless steel tanks preserves every bit of natural fruit vibrancy. Crisp green apple, juicy pear, and ripe white peach jump straight from the glass, followed by a lively squeeze of lemon and lime on the palate. It feels wonderfully clean with a lovely, rounded mid-palate, finishing with a mouthwatering citrus zip. Effortless to enjoy on its own on a sunny afternoon, it also shines alongside simple midweek suppers and relaxed weekend lunches. Pair a well-chilled bottle with pan-fried cod fillets, sizzling garlic and chilli king prawns, or a warm roast chicken salad.
