Conde Valdemar Rosé Rioja DOC 2025 13% Vol. 0,75l

The Conde Valdemar Rosé Rioja DOC 2025 is an elegant Spanish rosé wine from the renowned La Rioja wine region, produced from the Garnacha and Mazuelo grape varieties. The grapes grow on alluvial soils that are part of the natural terroir of the Valdemar vineyards. A special feature of the vineyards is their diverse flora: among the approximately 30 plant species found there is the common mallow (Malva sylvestris), which contributes to the biodiversity of the habitat. Only the gently extracted free-run juice is used for the production of the 2025 vintage. This approach underscores the rosé's vinification, which focuses on finesse and precision.

Alcoholic fermentation then takes place for 20 days at a low temperature of 16°C in stainless steel tanks. This controlled, cool fermentation serves to preserve the fresh and delicate character of the cuvée. With 12.5% ​​alcohol in the 0.75-liter bottle, the Conde Valdemar Rosé 2025 presents itself as a modern Rioja rosé, combining its rich Spanish heritage with straightforward vinification. A practical screw cap makes opening and resealing the bottle easy. The combination of Garnacha and Mazuelo grapes, Rioja origin, free-run juice, and temperature-controlled stainless steel fermentation makes this vintage a versatile rosé wine, perfect for summer meals, aperitifs, and casual get-togethers.
