Sela, the latest wine at Roda's, is made from 15 to 30 year-old vines. Its name comes from a Scandinavian river where owner Mario Rotllan goes regularly so as to revitalise himself and fish in a magnificent landscape.

El Calado del Espino 2023 is the third vintage of this white wine by José Gil. The wine is made from 100% Viura, sourced from two plots: one in San Vicente de la Sonsierra and a smaller part from Labastida. The vines are around 50 and 80 years old respectively and are planted on limestone-rich soils. The soils are very shallow, with the rock close to the surface. This gives the wine its taut, mineral character. Only 1,780 individually numbered bottles were produced.

This "village wine" (the village in question being Labastida, in Rioja Alavesa) is a blend of four different parcels lying at some 500 metres above sea level.

One of José's crus from San Vincente, at 540 metres above sea-level. Field-blend, mostly 50 year-old Tempranillo and a little Viura. Mostly calcareous soils, with a lot aromatic herbs and shrubs around the vineyard.

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.

One of the rarest wines of this great estate. This Gran Reserva is so in demand (for the 2004 was marked 100/100) that it has always been difficult to acquire. But we were able to secure a small allocation. A Gran Reserva worthy of its name.

The latest release by Remirez de Ganuza - a white wine, this time. It comes from a small vineyard in Samaniego, at 600m above sea level. Only old vines of viura (aka macabeo).

Trasnocho means "wine of one night". A real fruit bomb!
