Bodegas Roda: a contemporary wine “bottling landscape and vintages”

Within the broad spectrum of winemaking philosophies seen in Spain’s Rioja region, Bodegas Roda sits firmly at the contemporary, rather than traditional, end of the scale. After all, its most expensive wine, Cirsion, is also the one that spends the least amount of time in oak – typically eight to 10 months. But then Cirsion’s story begins in the vineyard, not the cellar.

Once Underrated, Spain’s Jumilla Wine Region Steps into the Spotlight

Once Underrated, Spain’s Jumilla Wine Region Steps into the Spotlight

Driving around Jumilla, a rugged wine region wedged between Spain’s Mediterranean coast and the plains of La Mancha, it is impossible to avoid passing the Castillo de Jumilla—an enduring landmark of Jumilla’s storied past. The castle comes into view when entering or leaving the region’s namesake town, regardless of which direction you are driving or which route you take. When my husband and I visited last summer, we joked we were like goldfish in a bowl swimming past the castle every time we passed but continually stunned by its presence, as if noticing it for the first time.

Spanish wine in numbers

When writing about why the wines of Spain have lacked fame, I made mention that for 2021, Spain produced the second-largest amount of wine in the world of any country. Again, this begs the question as to why it’s not held in the same regard as Italy and France; numbers one and three. To address those issues, I suggest a read of my previous article if you haven’t already.
