VINTAGE 2012

RODA I

Black fruit in a wine with character that maintains the freshness of the fruit.

RODA I is blended with parcels that that year have ripened in a black fruit profile. The deep black fruit, is almost always dominated by the plumb and supported by mineral notes, chocolate and balsamic sensations, that form an ensemble that slowly flows from the furthest side of the glass until it becomes huge in the entrance of the nose. In the mouth, the volume becomes evident, the fruit complexity nicely surrounds the mouth cavity showing the numerous and polished tannins. The wine gets longer making stronger the retro nasal sensation every time we breathe. A fruity and fresh sensation will last, inviting us to continue drinking.

CLIMATIC CYCLE

The harvest was marked by a great drought, 263mm. rainfall which came after another very dry year 301mm. rainfall in 2011. During the April month was collected during the whole cycle more than a quarter of the rainfall. May was warm and the budding was very good.

After the great drought during the summer, the ripeness was good due to the rains that arrived just in time in September and the thermal gap between the night and day.
The average temperatures were lower than those of 2011 and 2009 but higher than those of 2010. The heat summation led the same road.

The wines are less full-bodied than 2011 but more fresh and balanced.
