SINGLE-VARIETY WINES OF MAS RODO

 

We all know the difficulties involved in the production of single-variety wines and complexity that consists in maintaining their quality year after year. But meeting this challenge lets us enjoy the authenticity of flavours and aromas of the grapes vinified with these criteria. MAS RODÓ, located in the Alt Penedès in Spain at 480m above sea level, only produces wines from the grapes of their own crops located on ventilated hillsides. Our estate offers three types of soil: stony, sandy limestone, and clay. With these characteristics and water stress, we make the vines get the maximum mineralization from the root, the soil and its living micro organisms, because, by concept, we don’t use any kind of herbicides.
The pruning work and production controls allow us to limit the yield to between 2,500 and 4,500 kg / ha depending on the variety and the age of the vines. All these enable us to produce single-variety wines with typical characteristics of the climate of the area, its altitude and terrain types. That is, produce wines with distinctive nature of the “Terroir”. This year we have produced three wines under our standards and commitment to quality.

 

 

MAS RODÓ Montonega - "A unique wine”

Our wine Montonega has been produced from the indigenous variety Montonega from Penedes, Parellada phenotype. This is a variety of very low production and for that reason it has been scarcely planted in the area. The properties of its small grapes endow a specific structure, which coupled with the elevation of the vineyard and its soil, boosts flavour and aromatic expression of the wine and provides a nice level of acidity allowing to maintain the quality of young wines for several years. Its personality and differentiation, together with its exclusivity due to the shortage of these vines, even in their place of origin, Penedes, allow us to ensure that our high quality wine is "unique of its kind," and is of very limited production.

MAS RODÓ Riesling - "Typical Riesling in the Mediterranean"

The Riesling in Germany are grown on different soil types but their typical and hardly repeatable features are produced by freezing vines’ roots in winter.
Few wineries have dared to plant Riesling in Spain.
MAS RODÓ winery located at 480 meters above sea level in the Alt Penedes and subject to extreme weather conditions offers this feature on stony ground.
Our Riesling type "trocken" is produced without interruption of fermentation, is drier, more adapted to the Mediterranean taste and its fermentation in barrel emphasizes its different character with a personal touch.

MAS RODÓ Merlot - “A high quality wine from the Alt Penedès "

The combination of our rocky soil, day to night temperature change at the elevation of 480 metres above the sea level, low and controlled production at optimum harvest maturity has allowed us to develop a rigorous Merlot, very traditional, balanced, with marked acidity, fresh and Mediterranean on the palate, where 9 months of aging in French oak aligns well with the fruit. Despite the acknowledged difficulty of obtaining a quality single-variety Merlot, our wine has been rated as 'impressive'.

Montonega

 

MAS RODÓ Montonega  

 

 

The Montonega grape variety is native from Alt Penedès region with Small implantation in the past because

it offers low production. The grape growers prefer to plant Parellada, a variety genetically linked, but that

is three times the production per plant in regard to Montonega.

The Montonega variety has a pink color and a grain much smaller than the Parellada one, both provide a

high concentration of sugars and a higher proportion of skin with respect to pulp while intensifying its color

providing a structure and qualities that enable us to greater complexity in the wine. In a Château with the

features of MAS RODO located at 480 mts. altitude allows postpone harvest to reach the peak of

maturation, resulting in a structured white wine, aromatic and dry with an optimal level of acidity that gives

it a whole personality and a strong differentiation.
