Contador Rioja from Bodega Contador is the flagship wine of Benjamín Romeo and one of the most recognizable names in contemporary Rioja, created from a strict selection of vineyard parcels around San Vicente de la Sonsierra. Its aromatic profile is led by ripe cherries and blackberries, layered with notes of spice, dried herbs, and a subtle mineral edge.
On the palate, the wine is full yet precise, with fine, well-matured tannins and a vibrant freshness that gives it strong aging potential. The style is serious and thoughtfully crafted, without excess or showmanship, with a clear focus on expressing terroir.
Contador is widely known for its outstanding critical acclaim and for shaping the modern perception of Rioja wines. It pairs especially well with red meat, lamb, game, and aged cheeses, where its structure and depth come fully into play.
