Wine of the Week: Sela 2008 (Bodegas Roda)

Fuente: www.roda.es

COLOUR: 
An attractive, lively medium-deep cherry red colour displaying a clean, bright rim with a blue tinge. 

NOSE:
Very expressive with well-defined fruit character in which fresh red berry fruits, such as cherry, redcurrant and touches of blackberry, come to the fore. The wine shows a youthful, lively, carefree personality but at the same time is complex and serious with slight mineral notes showing through.
The oak is almost totally integrated in the fruit. It gives a subtle sensation of unctuousness against a background of spicy, floral hints. 

PALATE:
Very fruity, with the same red berry fruit sensations found on the nose. Medium-bodied with no hollow on the mid-palate, which is the hallmark of this winery. 
Very fine tannins and a silky texture.
