Description
Predicador Blanco Bodegas BenjamÃn Romeo is a white wine from the Rioja region in Spain. Made by the Benjamin Romeo Contador winery. This tight 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 partly matured in new and existing oak. It has a light bouquet of freshly squeezed grapefruit, white peach and a hint of almond, then a touch of chalk dust. The taste is very well balanced with fresh acids with a tight mineral finish. This is a beautiful Rioja but also great to leave for a few years. This winery also makes the famous Contador so quality is assured.

The white 2019 Predicador Blanco is a bend of 44% Viura, 36% MalvasÃa and 20% Garnacha Blanca from different vineyards in the villages of San Vicente de la Sonsierra, Leza and Labastida. It fermented in barrel, 30% new, where the wine matured for eight months. It's 14.04% alcohol and has a pH of 3.15. It's aromatic and powerful, with balance, structure and slightly riper sensations. 10,000 bottles produced.

From: Rioja: The Past Is Always Present (Apr 2021)
Brilliant straw-yellow. Fragrant, oak-spiced pear, peach and melon aromas are complemented by suggestions of lemon pith and vanilla. Silky and penetrating on the palate, offering juicy orchard and pit fruit flavors that are given a spicy edge by a hint of ginger. Finishes very long and smooth, with lingering hints of smoke and pear.
