A benchmark expression of modern Rioja, RODA I Reserva is a wine of remarkable depth, elegance and precision. Crafted predominantly from old-vine Tempranillo grown in the finest vineyards around Haro, it captures the richness of perfectly ripened black fruit while maintaining exceptional freshness and balance.
Appearance
Deep cherry red with an intense ruby rim, showing superb concentration and youthful vibrancy.
Aroma
An expressive bouquet of ripe black plum, blackberry and black cherry unfolds alongside notes of dark chocolate, cocoa, sweet spice, cedar and fine French oak. Layers of graphite, balsamic herbs and subtle mineral nuances add complexity and sophistication.
Palate
Full-bodied yet beautifully refined, the palate is silky and harmonious, with polished tannins supporting concentrated flavours of black fruits, liquorice, cocoa and warming spices. Fresh acidity keeps the wine vibrant, while mineral undertones and perfectly integrated oak lead to a long, elegant finish that lingers with remarkable finesse.
Food Pairing
A superb companion to grilled ribeye steak, roast lamb, slow-braised beef, venison, Iberian pork, mushroom risotto and mature Manchego cheese.
Serving Temperature
16–18°C. Decant for 30–60 minutes before serving to reveal its full aromatic complexity.
