Bodegas Roda Rioja Sela 2023 REDBURGUNDYROUNDUP own-rooted vinesSela is Roda's entry tier and a smart way into the Haro Station district's house style without committing to the bigger bottles. The fruit comes from younger sustainably farmed vines (Sela uses parcels that don't yet qualify for the old vine Roda or Roda I), a blend of Tempranillo with Graciano and Garnacha for lift and aromatic snap, then aged twelve months in used oak so the fruit stays front and center. The 2023 is fresh, juicy, and ready to drink
