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.

Palate: It is voluminous, full and woolly. In the mouth, it opens up the fruits with ripe bigarreau cherries feeling and fine spices. It is full bodied, long, pleasant and powerful. It has a wide retronasal and very ripe and fresh fruit aftertaste. Full bodied feeling. The oak is very well integrated, enhancing the fruit feeling. Good representative of the 2011 vintage, excellent in Rioja with an exceptional ripeness and slightly Mediterranean profile.
Harvest:
An excellent vintage.
568 mm rainfall during the vegetative cycle.
The 'high' temperatures in March and April caused an early budding of 15 days compared to 2010.
During the month of July, the temperatures dropped, the average monthly temperature of 19ºC, and the differences with 2010 were reduced to one week at veraison.
The low rainfall in the summer months and the high temperatures of August and September, with a lower production of the vineyard, made that the harvest come early, between 15 and 20 days, compared to 2010.
Vintage 2011
Rioja: Hot, dry weather throughout the summer set the stage for ripe, deeply flavored wines that tend to be low-acid and fruit-forward, with round tannins that will ensure positive aging over at least the coming decade.
