Fruit is sourced from older vines and handled with a light touch in both oak and extraction, aiming for clarity, freshness and a sense of place rather than excess weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaste\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDark cherry, blackberry and plum sit at the core, edged with cedar, cocoa and a gentle savoury spice. The palate is polished and medium full, with fine tannins and a steady line of freshness that keeps everything focused.

Blueberry fruit on the palate gives way to black pepper spice and present but well-managed tannins that frame the wine. It is approachable now but has a long life ahead. 93% Tempranillo, 4% Graciano and 3% Garnacha from low-yielding bush vines in Haro and its surrounding villages, undergoing spontaneous fermentation in French oak vats followed by 14 months' ageing in 40% new and 60% second-use French oak barrels, then 20 months cellaring in bottle.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Producer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBodegas Roda is based in Haro in Rioja and has built a reputation for a contemporary approach to traditional Rioja winemaking. Focused on old vine parcels and meticulous vineyard work, the team aims for purity of fruit and precision in the cellar, using French oak with restraint to preserve expression rather than mask it. The result is a style that sits between classic Rioja structure and a more modern, transparent fruit profile.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mentzendorff","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57839354020227,"sku":"MEN11019","price":47.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0272\/9843\/1058\/files\/BodegasRodaReserva.png?v=1776865791","url":"https:\/\/www.perfectcellar.com\/products\/bodegas-roda-reserva-2019","provider":"Perfect Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
