The best white Riojas

Roda I Blanco is a highly ambitious project from this top estate. A dedicated underground cellar was built especially for it, next to the existing bodega. Impressive! Agustín Santolaya’s ambition is clear — he aims for nothing less than creating the finest white Rioja, with his usual meticulous care for the vineyards. The winemaking pays tribute to the classic white Riojas.

Fernando has always had a majority of white grapes in his vineyards. Along the years, the quality of his white wines has regularly improved. And now his blanco is at the top of Rioja's whites. Since 2011, he has also been producing a white reserva. Both cuvées are on par with the best white Burgundies. The grapes come from a 600 m high vineyard in San Vincente de la Sonsierra, on clay and limestone soils.
