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

The miraculous harvest.

Damp winter. 445,3 mm. of precipitations in the vine-growing year. Good bud break. Several storms in August, there was hail on the 2nd and 3rd of August.

Stormy rains and heat in September which caused some outbreaks of botrytis (September, 1 to 10). From the 11th of September until the end of the harvest was a dry and sunny weather with northerly winds that dried the outbreaks of botrytis.

The days were warm and the nights were fresh. The harvest changed radically.
