“Such a delicious reserva that has huge depth of fruit, dark minerals and cocoa powder. Full-bodied and powdery on the palate, with stacks of glossy black fruit. Juicy and really long. Modern, for sure, with lots of fruit and youthful color. You can call it Roda’s neoclassical style. Drink or hold.”

“The flagship 2020 Roda I has a nose of black fruit and spices with hints of licorice and aromatic herbs, with depth and complexity, still very young and undeveloped. It's mostly Tempranillo and 8% Graciano fermented with indigenous yeasts and matured in French oak barrels, half of them new, for 16 months. It reveals a powerful nose with good ripeness, reaching 14.5% alcohol but keeping its poise with a good pH and acidity, coming through as medium to full-bodied with juicy berry fruit and abundant, slightly dusty tannins.”
