Wine Description
The Story
As from the 2002 vintage RODA II was renamed RODA. Once the 17 wines coming from the 17 vineyards selected for the year have been aged one year in barrel, it is the time for RODA and RODA I to be created.
In the blending of RODA, the wines are from plots of red berry fruit characters, with aromas that are to the fore, ready for immediate enjoyment, with sweet spice notes and delicious freshness. On the palate, the red berry fruit should come through, with a refreshing mouthfeel, length, silky texture and continuous volume. They are excellent wines for gastronomic meals, very versatile, go well with fish, roast meat or a complex casserole dish.
