Predicador Blanco 2022
The Predicador Blanco 2022 is a vibrant and expressive white wine from the prestigious Bodega Contador, located in Spain’s Rioja region. Crafted by renowned winemaker Benjamín Romeo, this wine is a blend of traditional Rioja white varieties, including Viura, Garnacha Blanca, and Malvasía, offering freshness, complexity, and a true reflection of the region’s unique terroir. The 2022 vintage is a perfect example of the balance between ripe fruit, acidity, and subtle oak influence.
Appearance: Bright pale straw yellow with hints of green, reflecting its freshness and youthful vibrancy.
Aroma: The nose is aromatic and elegant, with aromas of ripe citrus fruits like lemon and grapefruit, along with white peach and green apple. Floral notes of white blossom and hints of herbs such as fennel are layered with subtle toasty and nutty nuances from the oak aging, adding depth and complexity.
Taste: On the palate, this wine is medium-bodied with a crisp, refreshing acidity. Flavours of lemon zest, green apple, and pear are balanced by a creamy texture and a slight touch of vanilla from the oak. The wine’s minerality adds structure and precision, while the fruit remains fresh and lively throughout.
Finish: The finish is long and clean, with lingering citrus and mineral notes, leaving a refined and refreshing aftertaste.
Food pairing: Predicador Blanco pairs wonderfully with seafood such as grilled prawns, scallops, or sea bass. It also complements light pasta dishes, risottos, or soft cheeses like Brie and ricotta. The wine’s balance of freshness and texture makes it versatile, perfect for both casual meals and more elegant dining occasions.
