The Roda 'Red Note' 2018 is a sophisticated red wine produced by Bodegas Roda, one of the most esteemed wineries in Spain’s Rioja region. Known for producing wines with depth, elegance, and precision, Roda focuses on showcasing the purity of Tempranillo, often blended with Graciano and Garnacha. The 2018 Red Note is a special cuvée, reflecting Roda's modern approach to winemaking while capturing the classic character of Rioja.

Appearance: Deep ruby red with a brilliant, vibrant hue, indicating both concentration and youth.

Aroma: The nose is expressive and complex, with aromas of ripe red and black fruits such as cherry, plum, and blackberry. These fruity elements are intertwined with floral notes of violet, as well as hints of vanilla, clove, and sweet spices from oak aging. Earthy undertones of tobacco, leather, and a touch of balsamic add layers of complexity.

Taste: On the palate, this wine is medium to full-bodied with well-structured, silky tannins and a fresh acidity that provides balance. Flavours of ripe cherries, blackcurrants, and plums are complemented by savoury notes of tobacco, leather, and a touch of dark chocolate. The oak influence is well-integrated, contributing subtle spice and vanilla tones while allowing the fruit to shine. The wine’s bright acidity and refined tannins create a harmonious, elegant mouthfeel.

Finish: The finish is long and smooth, with lingering notes of red fruit, spice, and a hint of minerality, leaving a refined and elegant aftertaste.

Food pairing: This Rioja pairs wonderfully with roasted meats, grilled lamb, or slow-cooked beef. It also complements rich pasta dishes, stews, and aged cheeses such as Manchego or Pecorino. Its balance of fruit and structure makes it a versatile wine for both special occasions and casual dining.
