Benjamin Romeo worked for Artadi for 15 years before starting his own winery in Rioja, Spain. He has 25 acres of vineyards spread through 20 parcels. Romeo’s signature wines are his Tempranillos, which typically earn compliments and high scores from wine writers. His Contador is the flagship Tempranillo, and it has in the past earned 100 pts from Robert M. Parker Jr. Romeo also makes white wines from Garnacha Blanca, Malvasia and other white grapes. Parker has written that Romeo’s Tempranillos “are among the benchmarks for great wine…they are the epitome of what can be achieved with this grape.”
