CURIOSITIES
The key to obtaining such high-quality wines is the attention to detail of Benjamín Romeo, the winemaker and winegrower of Bodega Contador. Benjamín Romeo is in charge of supervising each and every one of the tasks that are carried out during the production of his wines.
The winery is located in San Vicente de la Sonsierra, and the project was carried out together with the architect Héctor Herrera between 2004 and 2006.
