Tasting Notes
Colour: A high layer, cherry red colour and a bright red rim. The colour is more intense than usual.
Nose: Very intense and fruity, with the profile of red fruits, even with some notes of blackness in the background. It reminds of the ripe cherry. The oak is almost imperceptible, the fruit takes over the aroma currently. Freshness and aromatic herbs of shade, join the smell of the undergrowth.
Palate: It has good volume, larger than usual. The freshness is noticeable, and it is full of ripe red fruit. The sensation of ripe cherries picked from the tree and the flavour of cherry flesh sticking to the bone. It has good tannins, something present now. It is very long in the palate and leaves the memory of ripe and fresh fruits at the same time.
Grape Varieties: 89% Tempranillo, 4% Graciano and 7% Garnacha.
Aging: 12 months in second-use French oak barrels
History of Bodegas Roda
Bodegas Roda as founded in 1987 and its facilities have been adapted to the needs of each time and the pace of development, growing structurally in four phases developed in 1991, 1996, 2000 and 2018. Carmen Daurella and Mario Rotllant arrived in La Rioja with the firm intention of creating a project able to provide the world of winemaking with something new. All have been carried out according to the challenges of each time, the 2018 – which has just been concluded- had an energy objective in line with to the 21st century: optimizing energy efficiency and using renewable energies.
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.
