RODA: the revolution continues

Founded in 1987, Bodegas RODA celebrated its 30th anniversary last year in 2017,… and  now remains firmly established as the most modern of the great Rioja classics!

The winery was among the first to recognize the value of old vines and rediscover the essence of traditional winegrowing while introducing new ideas to become a model of 21st-century Rioja wines.Working with 70 hectares of company-owned vineyards and 50 owned by external suppliers, the winery currently produces a range of four wines: RODA, RODA I, CIRSION and SELA

Whilst RODA celebrated its  30th anniversary it is  by now established as one of the most exemplary wineries in the D.O.C. Rioja appellation. The winery’s embrace of Rioja’s traditional winegrowing model distinguished it from the start. RODA distanced itself from the trend that dominated the region in the 1980s, which pushed globalized and productivity-oriented winemaking criteria.Combining a clear commitment to innovation with a deep respect for the traditions of this historical region, RODA was the very first to revive the essence of Rioja’s winemaking identity from a contemporary perspective.These founding principles and the swift recognition garnered by the project made RODA a model of modernity, with other wineries soon adopting its criteria, thus contributing to a new interpretation of Rioja wine. Given RODA’s crucial role at a time when the region’s viticulture underwent significant changes, the winery is now considered a classic: the youngest of the great Riojas.
