"The wines are quite transparent of the vintage conditions, with the 2019 Roda being round, lush and velvety, with polished and sleek tannins and more volume and concentration, reflecting a low-yielding, warm and dry year. This is a cuvée with more red than black fruit produced with 91% Tempranillo, 5% Graciano and 4% Garnacha from 30-year-old vines fermented with indigenous yeasts and matured in French barriques, 50% of them new, the other 50% second-use for 14 months. It's a red with 14.5% alcohol, ripe fruit, measured oak and integrated acidity. It was bottled in August 2021."
"I tasted the first white from Roda and a lot of reds to get up to date with current and near future releases. They now control 120 hectares of vineyards, of which they own 70. They consider 2018 as one of the most challenging years in their history (together with 1992) and 2019 as an excellent vintage with a limited crop."
