Robert Paker:

The nose of the 2020 Roda shows the textbook profile they look for—red fruit. It's clean, fresh and expressive, elegant and balanced with power and clout, good ripeness (14.5% alcohol) but without excess and with balancing freshness. It follows the house style of modern, clean and balanced wines with integrated oak. Serious Rioja. It was produced with a blend of 89% Tempranillo, 6% Garnacha and 5% Graciano matured in French oak barrels for 14 months. 131,168 bottles produced. It was bottled in August 2022.

The super reliable Roda continues with their focus on R&D (they allocate 7% of their income to it!) and are producing their stable range with the addition of a white from 2019, now in its second year. They work 120 hectares of vineyard, 70 of them owned, mostly in Haro and around it, producing 400,000 bottles per year.
