Really polished and fine with dark-berry, chocolate, cedar and spice character. Full body. Round and chewy tannins. Flavorful finish. Lovely length and focus. Drink now.

The 2015 Roda is a blend with more Garnacha, up to 8% (from 3% in 2014), and the Graciano represents 6%, which complements the 86% Tempranillo. All of these wines ferment with indigenous yeasts, and this 2015 matured in French oak barrels for 14 months, 40% of the barrels new and the rest second use. It has great balance and a juicy palate, with fine tannins and a pleasant mouthfeel. A very good Roda. 114,500 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2017.
About the producer
While being one of the youngest estates in Rioja, Bodegas Roda has quickly become one of its finest and certainly most innovative. The estate was set up in 1987. The name Roda is the contraction of the two owners’ names, Mario Rottlant Solá and Carmen Daurella Aguilera
