Bodegas Roda built its reputation in Haro’s storied Barrio de la Estacion on a simple idea: source only old-vine Tempranillo (35 years and up), farm meticulously, and let the wine speak. The Reserva ‘Roda’ is the middle tier of the house between entry-level Sela and the flagship Roda I and the 2021 leans into Roda’s red-fruit signature: bright raspberry and red plum, fine-grained tannins, and the spice that comes from twelve-plus months in mostly French oak. Modern Rioja at its most polished, drinking beautifully right now but built to age.
