Cirsion, 2010, Bodegas Roda, Magnum

Description

Cirsion, meaning ‘thistle’, can be seen on Roda’s logo and bottles and was first made in 1997 (but never released). Cirsion is produced using vines that bear fruit which have noticeably different characteristics to the surrounding vines’ yields. When tasted, these grapes give a sensation of fullness and volume. During each harvest, the vineyards are selectively picked, with only one vine in a thousand producing the particular grapes required to make Cirsion.
