"A cellar masterpiece that redefines the greatness of Rioja's grand white wines. Roda I Reserva 2021 White Wine 750 ml is masterfully crafted by Bodegas Roda from old vineyard head-pruned vines in Haro. Classified as a dry Reserva white wine, it combines elegance, rich volume, lively acidity and chalky mineral sparkles, unfolding complex aromas of grapefruit, white-fleshed peach, quince, elderflower and subtle toasted notes of French oak."
Subtlety, Rich Volume and the ULTIMATE Expression of Rioja's Age-Worthy White
The Roda I Reserva 2021 White Wine 750 ml represents the culmination of years of research by Bodegas Roda to produce an exceptional white wine with aging potential in the Barrio de la Estación de Haro (Rioja Alta). Sourced from the head-pruned vines on slopes of old vineyards, this blend primarily features Viura with small proportions of Garnacha Blanca and Malvasía Riojana. Its vinification includes 18 months of aging in bocoyes (650-liter barrels) of French oak and vats, followed by 18 months of refinement in the bottle. Unquestionably classified as a completely dry white wine, it stands out for its creamy entry, enveloping body, vibrant acidity, and an aromatic profile far from common tropicality, leaning towards noble citrus, stone fruit, elderflower, and chalky undertones.
