• Lingering Elegance: The kind of finish that stays with you, whispering secrets of black pepper and floral escapades.

Pairs With

• A Night of Jazz: Low lights, a smooth saxophone, and a plate of grilled lamb chops.

From

Hailing from the heart of La Rioja, Bodegas Roda’s Sela 2018 thrives where tradition steadfastly upholds its pact with innovation. Picture a vineyard, soil rich with the stories of past harvests, meticulously crafting grapes waiting to be transformed by the artistry of famed winemakers Carmen Daurella and Mario Rotllant.

Uniqueness Defined

Here’s where Sela stands proud: younger vines bring a fresh vigor seldom found in more aged Riojas, handpicked under seasons of varying skies, only the select few make it into the bottle each year. These gems enjoy a blend of tradition and a modern twist – temperate fermentation within French oak vats, avoiding the heaviness of American oak and allowing those true fruit expressions to sing.

Sustainability & Stewardship

Proud custodians of their land, Bodegas Roda carries the prestigious Sustainable Wineries for Climate Protection certification, cementing their commitment to reducing carbon footprints and championing biodiversity.

Awards & Accolades

Sela doesn’t boast about the mantle with awards it shares back home with its siblings, like the much-acclaimed Cirsion. Instead, it builds its reputation with those who recognize value and quality in each nuanced sip, often earning a spot on the shortlists of discerning critics searching for a daily drop with pedigree.
