Corney & Barrow 

Spain > Rioja

Opulent, powerful, sensual and fresh, Predicador is a Rioja with ambition

Now in its fourth vintage, Predicador is an established favourite within the Corney & Barrow team, from its iconic label through to its distinctive style. We are delighted that this now has a white partner. Benjamin had been unable to produce any wine in decent volume when confined by his father¿s garage but now, with his wonderful new winery, he can be more flexible. With Predicador red and white, as with all of his wines, his standards are exacting. By modestly adding to the production and re-using barrels, he is able to produce a wine at a lower price.
This 2008 vintage is deep jet-plum in colour, with a firm, dark cherry rim. The aromatics are very attractive, rich and sweet, combining blueberry, cherry and cassis, all lifted by a citrus tang, reminiscent of old-fashioned marmalade. There are hints of fennel and wild herbs, all reflected in a sensual, warm and inviting palate. Luscious and layered, this is a wonderful translation of Rioja terroir.
The name, Predicador (meaning preacher) and the label are inspired by Clint Eastwood¿s Pale Rider - a film which Benjamin loves.
