Roda I Reserva 2018Bodegas Roda - 150 cl. (Magnum)

This is Ignacio's and Martina's entry level wine, made with grapes from several villages of the Valladolid Province (hence the name): Mucientes, Valbuena de Duero and Pedrosa del Rey. Old vines from the 1940's.

Elias Mora is the man who planted the vines on this estate, and sold them to Viki Benavides in 1998.

This Páramos de Nicasia is Oriol & Susana's "village wine" in Toro. It comes from an old ungrafted vine in Villaester, North West of the Douro, on sandy soils. Besides the typical Tinta de Toro, one can find there quite a lot of Grenache and Malvasia. If you add to all of this Oriol's very traditional approach to winemaking, you get a really singular Toro.

Sela, the latest wine at Roda's, is made from 15 to 30 year-old vines. Its name comes from a Scandinavian river where owner Mario Rotllan goes regularly so as to revitalise himself and fish in a magnificent landscape.

The Blue Label is at the top of the estate's range of 3 wines. It is inspired by the coat of arms of the family.

The village of Morata, where the estate is located, was called Licinia by the Romans, hence the name of the bodega and this wine - the only one it produces. Organic viticulture.

A new style Ribera, powerful, with firm but juicy tannins, made with the most modern techniques.

Produced only in the greatest vintages, this is a selection of the best and oldest vines of the estate.

A blend of Tempranillo, Graciano and Grenache with an excellent reputation. It is the only wine in the range which is made with different varietals.

Granuja means mischievous in Spanish. This strange name is a tribute to Cote's maternal grandfather, Teofilo Reyes, who was the godfather of the Ribera wines, but who was also a joker. This Granuja is a blend of Tempranillo grapes from 5 different terroirs: two in Ribera del Duero (Gumiel and Baños de Valdearrados), Toro, Cigales and Valtiendas. The result is a surprising synergy between these 5 terroirs and the ultimate expression of what tempranillo can give you in Castille-Leon. A perfect tribute indeed for Teófilo !

This cuvée only uses the best grapes from the oldest vines. Its precise origin can thus vary from one year to another according to the ripeness and quality of the grapes.
