Bodegas Roda Rioja Sela 2023

$3599

Sela is Roda's entry tier — and a smart way into the Haro Station district's house style without committing to the bigger bottles. The fruit comes from younger sustainably-farmed vines (Sela uses parcels that don't yet qualify for the old-vine Roda or Roda I), a blend of Tempranillo with Graciano and Garnacha for lift and aromatic snap, then aged twelve months in used oak so the fruit stays front-and-center. The 2023 is fresh, juicy, and ready to drink — a Tuesday-night Rioja that punches well above its tier.

"Bright and red-toned from the outset, the 2023 Sela (95% Tempranillo, 5% Garnacha, Rioja Alta) was aged 12 months in second- and third-use French oak barriques and delivers intensity and clarity. On the nose, red fruit leads, layered with delicate herbs and a hint of rosehip. Clean and energetic on the palate, it has firm grip and vibrant juiciness driving it. Especially dynamic for Rioja Tempranillo, it feels more tensile and lively than 2022 or 2021, a profile clearly shaped by the vintage." —Joaquín Hidalgo

"The aromatic and gentle 2023 Sela is the youngest expression of Tempranillo they have, this year only combined with 5% Garnacha (no Graciano this time). It fermented with indigenous yeasts in oak vats and matured in used French barriques for 12 months. It's medium-bodied, juicy and refreshing and comes in at a moderate 13.5% alcohol, with a pH of 3.73 and six grams of acidity. The oak is neatly integrated and feels young and primary, quite balanced and fine-boned, with very elegant tannins."
