There is one white wine among the new releases, the gold-colored 2010 Inspiracion Valdemar Tempranillo Blanco (100%) was barrel-fermented and aged on the lees for 12 months in French oak. It offers up notes of jasmine, mineral, and white peach in a round, mouth-filling style. It has ample spicy, savory fruit, good balance, and a medium-long seamless finish. Drink this unique offering over the next 3 years.
Bodegas Valdemar produces a wide range of wines from both estate and purchased fruit, most of it at very prices.
