Conde Valdemar represents over 130 years of wine culture in one of Spain's great classic wine regions: the DOCa Rioja .

What makes this bodega so special? The combination of genuine pioneering work and deep respect for what has grown organically. Sustainability here isn't just a buzzword, but a lived practice – certified and consistently implemented. You can taste the result in your glass: vibrant, characterful Rioja wines that can do both – honor tradition and surprise.

What our customers say
It needs aeration because it is a really thick, rich, not very dry, but complex Rioja, with a harmonious chocolate-fruit taste, tobacco, small oriental spices, round acids, nice tannins and a lasting, long-lingering sip. Easy to drink, good value / value wine. Not an extra top wine, but worth the price. I would like to try it again.
First-class Rioja from a first-class vintage - for what you get, a super price-performance ratio.
Conde Valdemar —
Rioja from five generations of family work
Conde Valdemar has been cultivating its own vineyards in the DOCa Rioja for over 130 years — one of the few bodegas that can trace its origins back to the 19th century. Five generations of the Valdemar family have shaped these sites, planted vines, and developed a signature that is clearly evident in the glass: Tempranillo with depth, structure, and the unmistakable character of the region.
What distinguishes the bodega from many Rioja producers is the combination of pioneering spirit and groundedness. Valdemar committed to certified sustainability early on — not as a marketing promise, but as consistent practice in the vineyard and cellar. The wines reflect this: vibrant, clear in fruit, with the aging that Rioja needs to truly speak.
Whether a classic Crianza with sour cherry and vanilla or an aged Reserva with tobacco notes and a long finish — bottles from Conde Valdemar pair just as well with a rack of lamb as they do with a quiet evening and a good piece of Manchego.
