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.

About brand
The Bodega Contador story starts in 1995 when Benjamin Romeo, winemaker and vine-grower, acquired a centuries old cave hewn into the rock beneath the Castle of San Vicente de la Sonsierra (Rioja). In 1996 he made the first vintage of his “La Cueva del Contador” wine and started to buy vineyards for his plan to become a “bodeguero” - a wine producer.
In the following years he carried out small scale vinifications in the cave and continued to acquire vineyards. In 1999 he made the first vintage of “Contador”. Seeing these first wines favourably received by the market and specialist press, in 2000 Benjamin decided to dedicate himself full time to his personal project.
Throughout 2001 Benjamin Romeo reconditioned and equipped the garage at his parents’ home in San Vicente for winemaking, thereby increasing the vinification capacity over what was possible in the cave.
The North American wine critic Robert Parker’s Review awarded maximum points (100) to the 2004 and 2005 vintages of Contador, made in the garage. This accolade, hitherto unknown in Spain, hugely increased the label’s international prestige.

Akkeshi Single Malt Whisky Risshun
Akkeshi Single Malt Whisky RISSHUN (立春) is the 14th in the 24 Season Series.
"Risshun" is the beginning of the 24 seasons and the time when the longitude of the sun reaches 315 degrees, which is around February 4 on the solar calendar. It is the midpoint between the winter solstice and the vernal equinox. Since it is calculated based on the movement of the sun, it is cold enough to be called spring, but one can sense that the days are longer than at the winter solstice. Risshun and Setsubun are also closely related. The day before Risshun is Setsubun.
The key malt is "All Hokkaido Whisky". All Hokkaido whisky is distilled in Atsugishi using Hokkaido malt and aged in Hokkaido oak casks. It is the "most peaty" of the 24 Setsubiki series currently available. It is a product with high expectations for those who like Akkeshi whisky.
