VINTAGE 2009

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

419 mm rainfall. Rainy winter and spring.

The harvest started with a good water reserves. The whole cycle was ahead of time from the start. A very hot and dry summer. Maximum temperatures between 35ºC and 37ºC.

The balanced vineyards managed to endure the lack of rain. Some rainfall in mid-September which rounded ripening and put an end to water stress. Fantastic weather until harvest.

Excellent harvest.

Deep cherry red colour, with a lively red in the edge.

Nose:

Intense and expressive nose showing a good integration among the red fruit profile and the oak. Red cherries, with black fruit nuances and a sensation of freshness, flowers, scrub herbs and a hint of fresh violets make for a very complex nose.

Palate:

Good volume, higher that the immediately previous vintages, as it corresponds to a more Mediterranean vintage in an Atlantic area. Balanced and long, fine tannins, the fruit prevailing over the oak. Intense ripe cherries, yet keeping the freshness.
