La Rodeda 2021
250.72₣ (Inc. VAT bot. 75 cl.) / Spain
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The single-vineyard 2021 La Rodeda comes from a small plot (0.4 hectares) of some 79 years of age planted with Garnacha Peluda, the biotype of Garnacha with a more rustic character and more acidity. It fermented with full clusters and indigenous yeasts and matured in a used 228-liter French oak barrel. It's juicy and has some grainy tannins, and the oak is definitely better integrated than in other vintages. It's sharper and with good balance and acidity. Only 304 bottles were produced and filled in April 2023.

Winemaking
Fermented with indigenous yeasts with whole grape harvest without stemming. Aged in new French oak barrels.
Description
La Rodeda is a red wine made exclusively with hairy Grenache by the Familia Nin-Ortiz winery in Porrera, Priorat (Spain).
The grapes come from a single plot "Tros de la Teresina i Daniel" a small plot with old vines between 80 and 100 years old of Garnacha Peluda.
These vines have been planted on steep slopes on black slate soils in the town of Porrera, facing north and, at 650 metres, it is one of the highest in the Priorat region.
Elaboration
The grapes are harvested by hand and the grapes are sorted by hand. The whole bunches are fermented with natural yeasts and the wine matures in oak barrels where malolactic fermentation takes place.
La Rodeda is aged for 19 months in new barrels in which more than 300 bottles are filled.
Taste
La Rodeda is an elegant and complex wine with fruity aromas, mineral notes and a touch of liquorice and spices. In the mouth it shows a great texture and finesse and a very concise tannin typical of the Garnacha Peluda and a very long finish.
An elegant, fine, sensual and perfectly balanced wine.
La Rodeda is a wine resulting from organic farming and the application of biodynamic methods, where respect for nature and the genuine expression of the terroir are essentially shown. What has been achieved is a wine with a lot of energy and great ageing potential, worthy of the Priorat.
In the gastronomic field, this red wine can be the perfect accompaniment for different meals made with red meats and game.
