Bodegas Roda Rioja Roda I Blanco 2019

$8999
From the producer: The orography of the Haro area is made up of small vineyard hills cultivated at all winds. The upper parts of the slopes, highly eroded by centuries of tillage, are very poor and do not adapt well to the Tempranillo variety. Formerly, these heads were used to plant white varieties, more vigorous and productive than Tempranillo. Small plots of vines planted in the most eroded soils. The soils are made up of alternating sedimentary rocks of sandstone and limestone marl, and on many occasions the sandstone is clearly visible. These Viuras live directly on the Tertiary soil. Along with them, other varieties were planted, such as Malvasía de Rioja, Garnacha Blanca and some that were destined for table consumption, such as Calagraño and Moscatel, which in this case are discarded. With a base of Viura and small proportions of Garnacha Blanca and Malvasía de Rioja, the must is macerated in French oak vats, and then fermented in the same vat and in bocoys, also made of French oak. It is in the latter that RODA I Blanco is aged for 18 months, to which are added another 18 in bottle before being in the market.

"I tasted the first white ever produced at Roda, the 2019 Roda I Blanco, a powerful and ripe white with 14% alcohol and a golden color, a complex nose of yellow fruit, dried flowers and herbs and a spicy touch. The palate is medium to full-bodied, round and juicy, powerful, with a chalky sensation and a long, dry finish."

"The imminent arrival of RODA's first ever white was something of an open secret. I have tasted it twice in the last nine months, and it impresses with its mineral, citrus freshness and old vine intensity. Not easy for an established red wine producer to release a white, but they should be pleased. Look out for it when it appears later in 2022."
