Description

Roda est un assemblage de vins issus de 17 vignobles différents sélectionnés au cours de l'année.

Versatile, il saura s’accorder aussi bien avec un poisson qu’avec une grillade.

L'avis des experts

The Wine Advocate:

"The 2008 Roda Reserva is a blend of 90% Tempranillo, 6% Graciano and 4% Garnacha from head-pruned, 30-year-old vineyards fermented in French oak vats and malolactic in French barrels (40% new) where the wine stays for 16 months. At Roda, they talk about 2008 being a classical vintage, with a dry winter, but rainy spring (400 liters between May and June), and a cool summer. It was a very late, more Atlantic than Mediterranean vintage which resulted in approachable wines with good acidity. The 2008 Roda Reserva starts with notes of toasty oak and a shy, reticent nose of cherries and other red fruits, very Rioja, with a good splash of sweet spices. They only use French oak, but it smells so classical that I could have sworn there was some American oak in there, which for me is a great compliment. It is lighter than the norm for this wine, medium-bodied, with a great freshness in the palate. A great, approachable classical Rioja. Drink 2014-2022".
