The atmospheric conditions of temperature and humidity in the ageing of red wines are fundamental parameters which have an incidence on their quality. This fact led us to devise a European cooperation project (Germany-France-Spain) which enabled the development of a climatic architecture in the winery, equipping Bodegas Roda with the means to control the humidity and temperature in optimum mode for the ageing of our wines.
This project complemented an ICO-CDTI project which led to the creation of an innovative, technological cellar for ageing in barrel.
Appropriate ripeness tests will also enable us to assess wine-making grapes for picking at the optimum moment of ripeness. For this reason, the R&D department is also developing a methodology for quality assessment in wine grapes which will then equip Bodegas Roda with the necessary skills to make its wines with grapes that are picked at their optimum moment of ripeness. Finally, in addition to these actions, the study of a seedbank that was created earlier, is moving ahead.
