Frequently Asked Questions
- Where is Bodegas Roda located?
- Bodegas Roda is located in the Barrio de la Estación (Railway Station District) of Haro, in Rioja Alta, Spain — the same historic quarter that is home to several of Rioja's most storied bodegas.
- When was Bodegas Roda founded and by whom?
- Bodegas Roda was founded in 1987 by the Rotllan Daurella family; the winery's name combines the first letters of the founders' surnames. Its landmark gravity-flow winery in Barrio de la Estación was completed in 2001.
- What makes Bodegas Roda different from traditional Rioja producers?
- Roda prioritizes the expression of fruit and terroir over heavy oak influence, sourcing exclusively from old vines (30+ years) and fermenting with native yeasts to produce fresher, more precise wines than the classic long-aged Rioja style.
- What are Bodegas Roda's flagship wines?
- Roda's core red-wine range includes Sela, Roda, Roda I, and the ultra-premium Cirsión (100% Tempranillo from the oldest vines), plus a Roda I Blanco white. Roda I is considered the estate's benchmark expression.
- Do Bodegas Roda wines pair well with Japanese food?
- Yes. Their refined tannins and vibrant acidity make them a strong match for dishes like charcoal-grilled wagyu with soy-based tare, roast duck, and even unagi kabayaki.
