Bodegas RODA analyzes a decade since RODA II 2000 to RODA 2009, with over 250 professionals

Bodegas RODA gathered 250 professionals in a vertical tasting of 10 vintages of its wine RODA at the Wellington Hotel in Madrid. An exceptional tasting was enjoyed in which 2.700 glasses were used to try one decade of RODA: 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2008 and 2009. It was an unique opportunity to travel along the climatology, landscape and viticulture of la Rioja. This tasting could be done thanks to the philosophy of Bodegas RODA to not mix wines from different vintages, so we can enjoy the pureness that the land and the sky offer every year.

Mario Rotllant, co-owner of the winery, remarked that "its philosophy is to create wines with aging capacity characterized by its elegance and so they can be enjoy since they go to the market"

Agustín Santolaya, CEO of Bodegas RODA, showed how wine becomes a way to bottle time, due to the weather differences of each year. A climatological tour was done, so cold vintages like 2002 and 2008 could be tasted, as well as warmer ones like 2003 and of course, the excellent ones: 2001, 2004 and 2005.

RODA

After the vintage of 2002, RODA II become RODA. It is elaborated with Tempranillo, and a mix of Garnacha and Graciano. Predominates the red fruit with the expression of aromas in the edge of the glass, so they can be felt inmediatly, notes of sweet spices and a festive freshness. In mouth, the red fruit is the protagonist, with a fresh, long, silky and a continue volume in the palate. It is an excellent wine for a diverse gastronomy, it marries with fish, roast meat or a complex stew. The vintages of RODA commercialized are 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009. With RODA II, the vintages were 1992, 1993, 1995, 1996, 1998, 2000 and 2001.
