VINTAGE 2013

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

We came to 2013 after two years of important drought. The previous winter was cold, and before the budbreak, at last, abundant rainfall. Budbreak occurred on normal dates, around the middle of April.

May and June were really cold months, and the flowering arrived very late, starting at the beginning of July. It continued raining abundantly until June and with low temperatures. During the months of summer there were some isolated storms. This climatic circumstances delayed the vineyard cycle, getting the maturation with almost three weeks delayed.

Fortunately the months of September and October were excellent. It was not a year of homogeneous maturation and we had to harvest selectively, waiting to each vineyard to get its optimum maturation.
