Roda
About Bodegas Roda
Bodegas Roda are at the cutting edge of wine-making in Rioja. A family-owned winery, Mario Rotllant and his team, undertook an exhaustive analysis of many of the best vineyard sites in La Rioja Alta and picked 17 of the very best of these. Although the company was established in 1987, the winery in Haro wasn’t completed until 2001. By then it had gained its reputation as one of the top producers in the region.
Focusing on old vines, the winery produces two Reservas from their parcels in La Rioja Alta. Vinified separately in French oak vats, the wines are tasted and classified under two labels: the red-fruit dominant Roda Reserva or the structured and powerful black-fruit dominant Roda I Reserva.

Wine Advocate (94)As we didn't have another recent vintage to compare with the 2010 and the expectations were so high, Roda's CEO Agustín Santolaya insisted on uncorking another excellent vintage, the 2004 Roda I, to check on its evolution. The production and source of the grapes was basically the same as today, 100% Tempranillo that, back then, was fermented in French oak vats with indigenous yeasts, followed by aging in barriques for 16 months. There might be some things in common with 2010, which is the current vintage—a very balanced year with great ripeness and acidity, wines with power and elegance and a very slow development. This 2004 is aging at a glacial pace and should have a long life ahead of it. At the time, they produced 184,447 bottles of this 2004. It has been in bottle since May 2006. |
