Tasting notes
The 2021 Sela is a preview of what's to come from the vintage with its bigger brothers, fresh wines with stuffing and balance in this cooler year. This is very serious, clean, balanced, delicious to drink and is among the finest vintages for this bottling. It was produced with 89% Tempranillo, 7% Garnacha and 4% Graciano with classical parameters, 14% alcohol, a pH of 3.6 and 5.35 grams of acidity. It was bottled after spending 12 months in French oak barrels. A clean and modern delicious Rioja.

A modern Rioja, the 2021 Sela is 89% Tempranillo, 7% Garnacha and 4% Graciano sourced from Rioja. Aged 12 months in oak barrels, this purple wine offers a reductive nose with peas, herbs, cherries, violets and liqueur-like aromas against a minty backdrop. Dry, rich and velvety, the fairly taut and dry tannins lead to a chalky, lasting texture.
About the producer
While being one of the youngest estates in Rioja, Bodegas Roda has quickly become one of its finest and certainly most innovative. The estate was set up in 1987. The name Roda is the contraction of the two owners’ names, Mario Rottlant Solá and Carmen Daurella Aguilera
