2019 Cirsion
BLEND |88% Tempranillo and 12% Graciano
VINEYARDS & WINEMAKING | A natural rarity in specific clusters was identified in 1995 which led to Cirsion - a bunch by bunch selection of grapes from old vines which possess unique characteristics (polymerization of the tannins). One in one thousand bunches are chosen for fullness & volume - characteristics which were closer to actual vine tasting rather than grape-tasting. Roda eschews longer time in barrel for Cirsion and as such, the wine spends only 8 months in French oak.

“The luxury cuvée from Tempranillo that has a special ripeness with more depth and volume. It’s dark, almost opaque, and it’s very creamy, with high ripeness and a velvety, luxurious and voluptuous texture. It’s oaky. It’s still a baby.”- Luis Gutierrez
PRESS | 98 JS
“Complex, fresh and deep nose here, with a minty accent to the black and blue fruit, such as blackberries and blueberries. Some fresh violets, hot-stone minerality and hints of tar, cigar, musk and cocoa powder, too. Juicy palate that’s packed with naturally concentrated flavors. Silky and satin-like tannins linger with the fruit into the lengthy finish. Full-bodied, yet even and svelte.”
