Loved pouring Roda at Decanter FWE!
They make contemporary Riojas using French oak. I love their Blanco; an old vine viura, malvasia & garnacha blanca aged in barriques & bocoys. Glorious golden fruit, nervy saline minerality.

Wait, pink isn't a real colour?
Very much enjoyed nerding out on this article about wine chemistry by Gus Zhu MW. Interesting to actually understand (kind of) why Syrahs and Malbecs are purpley red while Chianti is more pillar box.
