Predicador Blanco 2013 Contador Benjamin Romeo

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (90)

The 2013 Predicador Blanco, a blend of Garnacha Blanca, Malvasía and Viura, was barrel fermented with indigenous yeasts and matured in oak barrels for eight months. The nose is a nice combination of aromas of hay, straw, apple, fennel and hints of spices and smoke, while the palate is fresh but reveals a serious white, with good acidity and a core of white and yellow fruit with tasty flavors and good overall balance. 9,900 bottles produced.

I tasted an impressive portfolio of wines from Benjamín Romeo, one of the best I can remember, with Contador going back to the elegance and Chambolle-like purity that I remember from vintages like 2000, but cleaner and more focused. The more traditional Carmen shows how the modern and traditional styles can coexist and even converge. Bravo Benjamín!

JS A ripe white with so much cooked apple and vanilla character. Full body and pie crust flavors. Opulent and exciting.
