Tasting Notes
Colour: Medium layer wine with a bright red background and a red rim.
Nose: It is intense and very fruity, the red fruits stand out above the glass, with a sensation of liveliness. The oak is practically imperceptible, as benefits a wine made from used oak. There is a lot of freshness, and the main fruity note is linked to the cherry and its stone. The aromatic set is light and cheerful with a fruity sensation that makes it very appetizing. Completing the set are aromas of fresh herbs.
Palate: The first sensations felt are the fruity character and the redness, in the range of fresh cherries. Medium volume, with fine and lively tannins. The aromatic herbs also appear together with the fruit. The freshness combined with the sensation of red fruits is the sensation that remains throughout the palate. It is a long wine, and the perception of aromas and flavours remain for a long time, leaving a memory of freshness and light pleasure. Excellent wine to drink by glass and with light meals. It perfectly supports cold temperatures for service. It is an example of the freshness of the rainy and Atlantic vintages.
Grape Varieties: 94% Tempranillo, 2% Graciano and 4% Garnacha.
Aging: 12 months in second-use French oak barrels

Bodegas Roda is located in the edge of the river Ebro, in a balcony of the Railway Station District (Barrio de la Estación) in Haro, La Rioja, over a XIX century “calado”. The vine growers used to use it to stock their harvests, that would be, subsequently, sent to Bordeaux by train to mitigate the damages caused by phylloxera.
