RODA Reserva 2022

2022 / 93 puntos

The 2022 Roda is perhaps more black-fruited than red in this very warm and dry vintage. Produced with a blend of Tempranillo with 6% Garnacha and 5% Graciano, it fermented with indigenous yeasts and matured in 50/50 new and second-use French barriques for 14 months. It's spicy and more Mediterranean, with notes of aromatic herbs and a medium- to full-bodied palate, good ripeness, a moderate (for the year) 14% alcohol, a pH of 3.58 and 5.8 grams of acidity. It has slightly more rustic tannins this year. It calls for food. 149,200 bottles produced. It was bottled in July 2023.
