Roda Sela 2022
15.67₣ (Exc. VAT bot. 75 cl.) / Switzerland
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2022 Sela comes from an early harvest after a very warm and dry summer, and the grapes had a shorter maturation cycle. It's 89% Tempranillo, 7% Garnacha and 4% Graciano from younger vines. The aim was to produce a more approachable red. This year, it has a deeper color, moderate 13.5% alcohol, a pH of 3.61 and 5.9 grams of acidity, possibly because of the blocking of some vines. It fermented with indigenous yeasts in oak vats and matured in used French barriques for 12 months. It has a creamy and spicy nose with notes of red and black fruit and a medium-bodied palate with good structure and abundant tannins, with grip and balance. It's very good for food. 98,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in March 2024.

Description
Sela is the youngest and freshest red wine of Bodega Roda. It is made from a blend of Tempranillo grapes (95%) and a small amount of Graciano (2%) and Garnacha (3%) from La Rioja Alta.
In the gastronomic field it is very pleasant with any starter, adapting perfectly to fish. On the other hand, it is a great option as a wine to drink with pinchos or tapas.
Elaboration
The grapes are selected by hand. These grapes come from 150 hectares of vineyards with an average age of 15 to 30 years. The soils of the vineyards are characterised by their altitude and particular weather conditions, in the Obarenes Mountains (Rioja Alta).
The spontaneous alcoholic and malolactic fermentation process has been carried out in French oak vats. The wine is aged in 100% semi-new French oak barrels for 12 months.
Stabilisation is carried out using natural methods and clarification is carried out with egg albumin.
Taste
It is silky and easy to drink. In the mouth it is of medium volume and continuous. It has a lot of freshness and the tannin is fine, full of fresh fruit that mingles with each other. It is very long and pleasant.
A fresh and young wine
Sela is a wine from sustainable vineyards with a pleasant freshness and an excellent aromatic blend. It is ready to drink, with a shorter ageing period than other wines and the ability to keep for years.
It is a young wine, especially for people who are just starting to experience the passion for good wine.
