Bodegas Roda Roda I Rioja Reserva 2018 is produced in Haro, Rioja Alta, by one of Spain’s leading modern Rioja estates. Founded in the late 1980s, Bodegas Roda quickly established a reputation for precision and innovation, focusing on fruit purity and vineyard expression rather than extended oxidative aging.
Made primarily from Tempranillo with small amounts of Graciano and Garnacha, the 2018 vintage shows aromas of ripe cherry, plum, and blackberry, layered with spice, cocoa, and subtle tobacco. On the palate, it is structured yet polished, with fine tannins and a long, elegant finish.
A benchmark example of modern Rioja Reserva, Roda I balances power and finesse, pairing beautifully with lamb, roasted meats, or aged cheeses.
