Roda Red wine
Discover Roda Reserva, a distinguished red wine from the renowned Rioja region, skillfully crafted by Bodegas Roda in the celebrated 2021 vintage. This wine embodies a harmonious blend of Tempranillo and Garnacha grapes, delivering a rich and sophisticated tasting experience. With an alcohol content of 14.5%, Roda Reserva is a classic representation of the Spanish terroir.
The winemaking process involves meticulous fermentation in French oak vats, where temperature is closely monitored. This is followed by a malolactic fermentation in French barrels, allowing the flavors to develop beautifully. The wine is aged for 14 months in a combination of 40% new and 60% used French oak barrels, prior to spending an additional 22 months in the bottle before being released to the market. This careful aging process ensures a refined character and complex aromas.
Roda Reserva presents a vibrant cherry-red color with hints of deep ruby at the core, creating an inviting visual appeal. On the nose, it offers an intense bouquet where the oak is seamlessly integrated, with prominent notes of red fruits, notably cherry, capturing the essence of the varietals used.
On the palate, this wine is elegant and full-bodied, boasting a freshness that enhances its complexity. It leaves a lasting impression with its notable length and an important retronasal pathway, ensuring that each sip resonates. It pairs perfectly with roasted red meats, civet, game, matured cheeses, and exquisite Jamón Ibérico de Bellota, making it an ideal choice for special occasions or a refined dining experience.
Whether you're a connoisseur or simply looking to enjoy a premium wine from Spain, Roda Reserva is sure to impress with its quality and character.
