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.

Harvest:
- We came to 2013 after two years of important drought. The previous winter was cold, and before the budbreak, at last, abundant rainfall.
- Budbreak occurred on normal dates, around the middle of April.
- May and June were really cold months, and the flowering arrived very late, starting at the beginning of July.
- It continued raining abundantly until June and with low temperatures. During the months of summer there were some isolated storms.
- This climatic circumstances delayed the vineyard cycle, getting the maturation with almost three weeks delayed. Fortunately the months of September and October were excellent.
- It was not a year of homogeneous maturation and we had to harvest selectively, waiting to each vineyard to get the its optimum maturation.
