Product Description
Details
Produced by Bodegas Roda, this Spanish red wine embodies the most elegant side of La Rioja.
Made from over 30-year-old, low-yielding vineyards, the 2018 vintage of Roda I Reserva is, a usual, virtually a varietal Tempranillo (92%), with a dollop of Graciano (6%) and Grenache (2%).
After an extremely meticulous and selective harvest, this red wine from La Rioja was fermented in wooden vats with indigenous yeasts.
Then Roda I Reserva 2018 was aged for 16 months in 50% new and 50% 2nd year French oak barrels. It was fined with egg whites before bottling.
Finally, this Reserva red wine was aged for a further 20 months in the bottle before its commercial release.
Decant 1 hour before drinking.
Additional Information
Additional Information
| Appearance | The red wine Roda I Reserva is deep ruby with a purple rim. |
|---|---|
| Nose | A fresh and supremely elegant nose, with a peculiarly Atlantic twist. Intricate and understated, this blend of Tempranillo, Graciano and Grenache smells of raspberries and blackcurrants, with some complex mineral undertones, delicate nuances of cocoa, Havanna cigars and Moroccan leather, alongside aromas of spices and underbrush. |
| Palate | Smooth, well-balanced, truly an iron fist in a velvet glove. Spicy and balsamic nuances are extremely subtle, tannins are silky and acidity is phenomenal. This Reserva from Bodegas Roda packs fruit of the purest quality, and the wine conveys a real sense of place. Long finish with remembrances of underbrush, tree bark, blueberries and forest floor. |
| Our personal opinion | A wine with a remarkable ageing potential, Roda I Reserva 2018 will transform a special occasion into a memorable one. |

Class Roda
Yes, class, class and again... more class. Superbly balanced, with a filigree texture and an exceptional precision. At the same time, it is immensely enjoyable for the unexperienced drinker.
