Description
Predicador Blanco Bodegas BenjamÃn Romeo is a white wine from the Rioja region in Spain. Made by the winery Benjamin Romeo Contador. This sleek with delicious minerals is a fresh powerful white Rioja wine.
The Predicador Blanco is a blend of 50% Viura, 30% Garnacha Blanca and 20% Malvasia, partially raised on new and existing oak. It has a light bouquet of freshly squeezed grapefruit, white peach and a hint of almond, then a puff of chalk dust. The taste is very well balanced with fresh acidity with a tight mineral aftertaste. This is a beautiful Rioja but also great to leave behind for a few years. Drink 2021-2028. This winery also makes the famous Contador, so quality is assured.

The Beginning in the Cave (1996-2000) The story of Bodega CONTADOR begins in 1995, when winemaker Benjamin Romeo purchases an ancient cave under the castle of San Vicente de la Sonsierra - La Rioja. He made his first wine "La Cueva Del Contador" from his 1996 harvest. In 1999, the first year of the now renowned top wine "Contador" is a fact.
The garage (2001-2007) 2001 is the year that Benjamin Romeo also furnishes the garage of his childhood home in San Vicente for winemaking, in addition to the cave, with which he increases production capacity. Robert Parker awards the 2004 and 2005 volumes of "Contador", made in the garage, with the highest rating possible: 100 points and the international prestige of Benjamin Romeo wines is a fact.
Bodega CONTADOR (2008-present) The new bodega will open on June 21, 2008, located at the foot of the San Vicente de la Sonsierra, surrounded by a diversity of vineyards that include unique wines such as "Predicador, La Cueva Del Contador, La Viña De Andres Romeo en Contador "and" Qué Bonito Cacareaba "
