Wine Roda - Roda

RODA

Represents of one the two profiles of the ripening of Tempranillo: the red fruit.

In RODA we look for the parcels that that year have ripened in a red fruit profile, with the expression of the aromas present in the edge of the glass, ready to be felt immediately; with sweet spice notes and a kind freshness. In the mouth the red fruit carries the importance, with a fresh, long, silky, voluptuous and continuous mouth pass. Before vintage 2002, RODA was called RODA II.

CLIMATIC CYCLE

There was snow and enough moisture in winter. The entire spring was very dry, but the vineyard vegetated well due to the winter 2020 reserves. Spring temperatures, especially those of March and April, were cool.

July was very dry, with a few isolated days of intense heat. August was also very sequential. Even though, average summer temperatures were lower than those of recent years. The summer drought reduced production, leaving a year of moderate harvest. In September it rained in La Rioja, but in the Haro area rainfall was scarce.

Magnificent weather at the end of September and October, which contributed to a magnificent end of ripening. The harvest was less early than in previous years, beginning on September 22nd and ending on October 20th. 456 mm. of rainfall were collected in the vegetative cycle and the thermal integral was lower than the previous years. The final result was an excellent vintage at Bodegas RODA.

TASTING

Colour:

High-medium intensity layer, very well covered. The background is the colour of picota cherry and the rim is red.

Nose:

It has good aromatic intensity and is very comfortable, with the wood impeccably assembled.

The profile is of red fruit and some black flashes can be appreciated. The ripe cherry stands out mixed with the memory of sweet spices and light notes of cocoa.

There is a certain floral note of violets, together with the sensation of a bouquet of aromatic plants reminiscent of a walk in the countryside.

Palate:

It has good volume, it is wide, with very good quality tannin, still somewhat present. It is noticeable that it comes from a great vintage, such as 2021. It is very long and with a lot of presence, highlighting the freshness. A tasty wine, full of nuances.

A Roda with character that has a certain proximity to the profile of Roda I.

It will evolve very well over time.
