Bodegas Roda, Rioja Reserva 2019

Bodegas Roda has since its conception in the late 1980’s been at the very forefront of the modern Rioja movement. Roda combines perfectly the old with the new, fusing the 200 year old Cellar with the modern Bodega. The position of the vineyard produces stunning Rioja, with the Roda flagship being their incredible Cirsion wine. Roda Reserva is a blend of Tempranillo, Garnacha and Graciano varieties. The grapes come from old vines more than 30 years old. For processing, an alcoholic fermentation in French oak vats is carried out. The wine is aged for 16 months in French oak barrels, half new and half formerly used. Finally Roda Reserva is aged for 20 months.

The nose is deep, fruity and delicately spiced whilst the palate provides flavours of cherries and silky, fine grained tannins. An overall feeling of freshness, this wine is delicate yet elegance.
