Vinification of Alto Cantabria Blanco from Conde Valdemar The uniqueness of Alto Cantabria Blanco - Conde Valdemar begins in the vineyard. Thanks to their privileged location on lean soils and optimal sun exposure, the vineyards are perfectly suited for cultivating the Viura grape. Old vines yield low quantities, concentrated fruit, and exceptional depth. Harvesting is carried out strictly selectively by hand, usually in the cool morning hours, to bring in the grapes as fresh as possible. Only the best, optimally ripe grapes make it to the cellar. Gentle pressing and fermentation are then used to fully preserve the aromatic potential of the Viura grape. A slow, temperature-controlled fermentation process ensures that the delicate fruit aromas and the zesty acidity are retained. For further refinement, the must is aged partly in stainless steel tanks and partly in oak barrels. This maturation ensures subtle complexity, highlights the mineral notes, and provides the characteristic harmony. Through contact with fine lees, the wine gains creaminess, structure, and depth. Finally, the wine rests for several months so that its aromas can unfold individually and the balance can be perfected. The outstanding quality of Alto Cantabria Blanco - Conde Valdemar is also the result of the perfect symbiosis of soil, microclimate, and artisanal precision: Selection of old Viura vines on lean, mineral soils Selective hand harvest at ideal ripeness Gentle processing in the cellar to preserve aromas Aging on fine lees in stainless steel and oak barrels Individual maturation phase for harmonization and expression of origin Each bottle reflects the passion of the Conde Valdemar estate for offering top quality from Rioja and making the uniqueness of the Viura grape shine.
