Benjamín Romeo, a key figure in the Rioja wine world, has made Bodega Contador, his personal project, founded modestly in 1995 in San Vicente de la Sonsierra, one of the leading firms in the D.O.Ca Rioja. From its fragmented vineyard, of the highest quality, great wines such as this Predicador Blanco are born, a magnificent blend of the native Viura, Garnacha Blanca and Malvasía, with the added value of its careful aging of 10 months in French oak barrels. The flagship white wine of Bodega Contador obtained a rating of 92 Parker points in the 2016 vintage. The high scores from specialized critics are a distinctive feature of Benjamín Romeo's creations, who achieved glory with his top Contador wine, which has been awarded the mythical 100 points in two consecutive vintages.
Predicador Blanco is a measured blend of Viura, Garnacha Blanca and Malvasia that originates from almost twenty small plots, distributed among the municipalities of San Vicente de la Sonsierra, Leza and Briones. The harmony between fruit and oak is particularly striking in this complex and ripe white.
