RODA cultivates 120 hectares of vineyard, 70 of those are self-owned and the 50 hectares left are from local growers with which we have different agreements. They are distributed in different ecosystems that go from altitudes of 380m to 650m above sea level. Represents of one the two profiles of the ripening of Tempranillo: the red fruit.

In RODA we look for the parcels that that year have ripened in a red fruit profile, with the expression of the aromas present in the edge of the glass, ready to be felt immediately; with sweet spice notes and a kind freshness. In the mouth the red fruit carries the importance, with a fresh, long, silky, voluptuous and continuous mouth pass. Before vintage 2002, RODA was called RODA II.

Sustainable farming: avoid chemical synthesis products and we bet for the maximum respect of nature’s processes and cycles.

Tasting Note

Intense layer with cherry red background and red rim.
Very expressive, with the marked typicality of the RODA style. The red fruit is very ripe, along the cherry lines. The nose is very pleasant, comfortable and very clean. There are some black notes and spice nuances. The fruit stands out as a whole, sitting on a limestone mineral base. Just by smelling the wine, you can feel the freshness among the aromas.
When you try it, flashes of freshness jump out. Medium volume, but with a very good presence in the palate. Very tasty, with a very pleasant fruity sensation, combining sweetness and highlighting freshness, the cherry tops the whole. The tannin is very fine, still somewhat present. There are no wafts in the mouth and the aftertaste once again highlights the freshness and great length. It is a great RODA, fruity, elegant, delicate and with good complexity. A very gastronomic wine, with a wide spectrum of pairings.
