RODA I

The grapes come from various vineyards in and around Haro, situated at different altitudes and influenced by Atlantic, continental and Mediterranean climates. For RODA I, parcels with predominantly black fruit are selected; precise soil details vary according to vintage and parcel. Alcoholic fermentation takes place spontaneously in French oak casks, followed by malolactic fermentation in cask. The wine matures for around 12 to 16 months in French oak, followed by at least 20 to 24 months of bottle ageing. Stylistically, it shows dark fruit, mineral, chocolate and plum notes, volume, complexity, freshness and melted tannins. Lyophilised egg white is used for clarification.
