Ben's Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for customers seeking a fresh, approachable Spanish white wine with vibrant fruit and elegant structure. The 2025 Conde Valdemar Rioja Blanco offers a versatile alternative to Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio, combining refreshing citrus flavours with subtle floral complexity. Best enjoyed young, with a suggested drinking window of 2026–2029. Serve chilled at approximately 8–10°C to highlight its freshness. Particularly well suited to grilled prawns, fresh seafood, lemon-herb chicken, Spanish tapas, grilled calamari, goat's cheese or light Mediterranean salads.
