Benjamin Romeo, in Spain's Rioja region, crafts modern, high-expression wines, with his Contador often achieving top scores and representing the pinnacle of Rioja's new wave.

Former Artadi winemaker Benjamin Romeo founded Bodega Contador in Rioja's San Vicente de la Sonsierra in 1999, where he manages 42 hectares across 62 high-altitude parcels focused on Tempranillo-based wines from calcareous clay soils. The estate combines traditional methods with modern precision through its gravity-flow winery and parcel-specific vinification, aging wines exclusively in French oak for 14-20 months.
