Bodega Contador Benjamin Romeo Coleccion No. 3 El Chozo del Bombon 2015
The limestone soil that cares for this vineyard has a chocolate colour, land with a lot of mineral content. Don Andrés worked it with mules for his boss from a young age and when the heirs decided to sell it, there was no choice, ‘Buy it my boy’. The high vineyard which stretches from
El Bombón to the foothills of the sierra produces very special wines year after year, full of balance, freshness, tannin and minerality.
Fermentation in oak vats. 18 months in new 100% French Oak barriques. 3,000 bottles produced. 100% Tempranillo.
On the nose, balsamic and mineral aromas with chocolate and toasted notes. On the palate, volume, sweet tannin and long finish.

Bodega Contador Benjamin Romeo Coleccion No. 1 La Vina de Andres Romeo 2015
Colección Nº 1 comes from La Viña de Andrés, planted (Richter 110) in the La Liende district in 1985. Grafted the following year at the hands of Don Andrés, with the tempranillo variety sourced from an exhaustive stock of family vines. This collection springs from respect for the land and for its tradition, from start to finish. From the importance of classic viticulture practice and minimal yields.

On the nose, very ripe red fruit. On the palate, good volume, flavoursome and very fresh.
Coup de Foudre Pinot Noir 2019
Situated at the top of Kings Ridge Road along the Sonoma Coast, the Pinot Noir Vineyard overlooks the Pacific Ocean and basks in ample sun and fog at a 2000 feet elevation. The coastal fog keeps it cool in the mornings, but the ridge exposure allows for ample ripening.
Strawberry preserve, anise, and spicy notes leap out of the glass. While fresh red fruit and hints of cherry are enveloped by subtle warm toasty oak nuances. The firm acidity and smooth tannin profile are perfectly balanced.
Aged 14 months in 50% New French Oak, 50% Neutral French Oak. Only 8 barrels.
BenMarco Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
BenMarco Cabernet Sauvignon comes from Los Arboles, a terroir with very stony soil from the surface with intermixed layers of loose, high-draining sand.
It is an outstanding wine with lingering flavours of currant, cassis and plum combined with a hint of spice and juicy acidity. Good structure, firm tannins and a persistent finish.
BenMarco Cabernet Sauvignon is perfect with red meat, pasta with mushroom-based sauce or Bolognese.
"Blackcurrant, blackberry, bark and iodine on the nose. It’s medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins and bright acidity. Juicy and creamy. Drink now." - James Suckling
