Bodegas Roda is in Haro, in Spain’s Rioja producing region. It was started in the late 1980s by Mario Rottlant and Carmen Daurella, who combined their last names to come up with a name for the estate. The debut vintage was 1992. The estate makes wines from the traditional grapes of the region: Tempranillo, Grancio and Garancha. Bodegas Roda owns about 200 acres of vineyards, and has long term leases on nearly 100 others. Bodegas Roda is now part off the Kobrand conglomerate of wines and spirits. The estate’s flagship Riojas have frequently earned high marks from reviewers.
