Nestled in the heart of Spain’s renowned Rioja region, Bodega Contador stands as a benchmark for modern Spanish winemaking. Created in 1996 by Benjamin Romeo, a passionate winemaker with a bold vision, the estate began in a simple family garage. From those humble beginnings, Romeo pursued an ambitious goal: to craft world-class wines that express the full potential of the Rioja terroir.
Today, the estate includes over 50 micro-parcels spread across the hills of San Vicente de la Sonsierra. Each site offers unique variations in soil, altitude, and exposure, providing the foundation for remarkably complex and expressive wines. The vineyard work is carried out organically, and the winemaking process blends traditional techniques with innovative practices—including aligning cellar operations with lunar cycles to optimize wine aging.
Among the estate’s highlights, the flagship "Contador" wine—twice awarded 100/100 by Robert Parker—is globally acclaimed for its intensity, balance, and elegance. Additional labels like Cueva del Contador and Predicador showcase the same artisanal care and refined style, making Bodega Contador a true icon of Spanish viticulture.
Wine lovers can now enjoy the prestige of Bodega Contador through a curated selection available on 12bouteilles. Each bottle embodies the precision, artistry, and terroir expression that define the estate. From meticulous hand-harvesting to barrel aging with carefully selected Spanish oak, every detail is designed to achieve excellence.
Whether you're an experienced collector or new to the world of Spanish fine wine, Bodega Contador offers an unforgettable tasting experience. Powerful yet harmonious, rich yet refined, these wines are the essence of modern Rioja. Discover a world-class interpretation of tradition and innovation—an invitation to taste Spain’s terroir at its finest.
