Founded in 1987, Bodegas Roda is one of the newest wineries in Rioja but has rapidly established itself as a meticulous producer of incredibly high-quality Tempranillo and very much represents the modern side of the region, favouring a short maturation time versus more traditional extended barrel ageing.
Cirsion was conceived in 1995 and is a selection of particularly prime vineyard sites and specific barrels. The 2017 is 89% Tempranillo and 11% Graciano aged for 8 months in new French oak barrels, the 2018 is deep and intense with notes of red fruit, cocoa and tobacco, silky oak spice follows through to the finish.

Ridiculously heavy bottle. See more details about this famous wine in this tasting article. 89% Tempranillo, 11% Graciano.Hand selection of bunches from various parcels of old vines. Roda say that this wine is `the result of our own investigation on the polymerisation of the tannins and anthocyanins in the grape.` Aged in French oak vats with temperature control. Malolactic conversion in French oak barriques.Dark purplish crimson. Very heady, ripe nose of purple fruits –mulberries? A little less supple than the Roda I 2015 tasted alongside. Very youthful in fact. Not the most generous Cirsion. Time needed! More cellar than vineyard?(JR)
