Roda Reserva 2021 is a red wine from the renowned Denomination of Origin Rioja, produced by the prestigious Bodegas Roda. This wine is a tribute to viticultural tradition with careful alcoholic fermentation in French oak vats, followed by malolactic fermentation in French barrels. Aging takes place for 16 months in barrels, 40% of which are new and 60% second-use, and it rests for 30 months in bottle before being released to market. In terms of tasting, Roda Reserva shows a medium-high layer and an intense red color, with vibrant highlights at the rim. On the nose, it reveals significant aromatic power with wonderfully integrated wood, alongside an explosion of red fruits like ripe cherry, as well as notes of black fruits and floral hints evoking fresh violets and a touch of underbrush. On the palate, this wine presents good volume and impressive persistence, setting it apart from previous vintages. Perfectly ripe cherry predominates on the palate, and the fine tannins contribute to a long, fresh finish, making this wine a great example of the balance between Mediterranean maturity and the Atlantic character of Rioja. A wine that is appreciated with every sip and promises to delight red wine lovers.
