Bodega Contador Predicador Blanco 2018

The story of Benjamín Romeo, an undisputed star of Spanish viticulture and oenology, began in 1995, when he bought a small winery centuries old and dug in the rocks below the Castle of San Vicente de la Sonsierra in Rioja. Here he would produce in 1996 the first edition of his first wine, “La Cueva del Contador”. In the same year, he bought the first vines that would help him fulfill his dream of becoming a “bodeguero”, that is, a wine producer. In the following years, he continued to buy vines and produce small quantities of wine. Then, in 1999, he released the first edition of “Contador”.
