The Mas Rodó winery is a family project that began in 2005 and was launched on the market in 2010 with the aim of producing quality and unique wines within the Penedés Denomination of Origin. The meticulous attention to the vineyard and the wine are the fundamental pillars of the winery, which allows them to create wines with our personal style. The family behind Mas Rodó is characterized by its respect for the land, its passion for wine and its desire to create something special.
The Mas Rodó project is based on a commitment to the environment, the expression of the terroir and a careful production process. The wines from the winery must reflect the unique character of Mediona, an inland mountainous area of ??Penedés (Barcelona). Located at an altitude of 500 meters in an ecological and qualitatively privileged environment, the location of the winery guides its way of working.
The terroir allows working with both local and international varieties, since it is understood that plants do not know borders, but rather climates and lands. What distinguishes Mas Rodó is his adaptive capacity, which has allowed him to obtain optimal results in terms of expressing the potential of the different varieties.
Little production, high quality
At Mas Rodó, the goal is to produce high-quality wines by growing their own vineyards using organic farming techniques. The differential terroir of the winery, located more than 500 meters above sea level, is the setting for these wines. The infinite demand in the production of wine is evident, working each strain to give the best of itself. Production is reduced and highly controlled, thus maximizing the characteristics of each vineyard.
The combination of vines, terrain, climate, technique and passion is the secret of the winery, considering themselves as wine artisans. Care for details, good work material and a good application of knowledge and technique are essential to create quality wines with personality.
Mas Rodó wines, both white, rosé and red, are recognized worldwide by experts and have received awards that reinforce their commitment to meticulous craftsmanship, technology and care. These wines are appreciated by wine lovers from all walks of life who know how to appreciate the nuances that each glass of Mas Rodó offers.
A Merlot that exceeds expectations
This is his wine Mas Rodó Merlot 2016, one of the protagonists of the Merlot Monovarietal Selection designed by Gourmet La Vanguardia.
It is a delicious proposal thanks to the ideal climatic conditions that allow a perfect adaptation. The combination of maturation and fruit from a warm country with the acidity and potential of the famous French Merlots are the secret of this wine.
The liveliness provided by its acidity is perfectly balanced by the extraction work, resulting in a wine with more intensity and less docility than a conventional Merlot, but without losing roundness and balance.
This wine has a tannic point, but ripe tannins, which gives it freshness and invites you to continue drinking. It is a perfect example of how an international variety can adapt to the Penedés highlands.
In addition, it pairs with mild stews and especially fatty meats, since its acidity will clean that fat. It’s a great barbecue wine, even by the glass.
You can purchase this and many more proposals from the Mas Rodó winery (Macabeo, Incògnit Rosado, Riesling, Cabernet Sauvingon or Montonega) at the Gourmet La Vanguardia online store or by calling 935 500 105.
