Bodegas Roda Sela is a refined expression of Rioja Alta, crafted from old bush vines of Tempranillo, Graciano, and Garnacha planted near the historic town of Haro. Low yields, careful hand-harvesting, and 12 months in French oak make this a wine of real elegance and concentration — a step up from everyday Rioja without stepping away from what makes the region great.

Why You'll Love It

Introduced in 2008, Sela has quickly become a benchmark for carefully crafted Rioja Alta. Bodegas Roda's philosophy centres on balance, elegance, and terroir expression — and this wine delivers all three. If you're looking for a Rioja that rewards attention without demanding it, this is it. Sustainably farmed, with minimal intervention in the winery.

Vineyard & Production

Sourced from 15–30-year-old bush vines whose low yields encourage phenolic maturity and concentrated aromatics. Grapes are hand-harvested, destemmed, and gently crushed before 19 days of maceration. The wine then spends 12 months in 100% semi-new French oak barrels, allowing fruit and oak to integrate seamlessly before bottling.

Tasting Notes

Bright ruby with layered red hues. The nose is intense and expressive — cherry, red berry, and hints of black fruit, with subtle mineral and oak notes. On the palate, the wine is wide and voluminous, with fine, well-structured tannins, ripe fruit concentration, and a long, persistent finish.

Perfect Pairings

Best served at room temperature alongside rich, flavourful dishes. Think roasted venison, beef fillet, slow-cooked lamb shoulder, or hearty stews. Also excellent with aged hard cheeses and charcuterie.

The Blend

Tempranillo 94%, Graciano 3%, Garnacha 3% — DOCa Rioja Alta, Spain. Hand-harvested. 75cl bottle.
