Today Rodero’s vineyard holdings cover 81 hectares with 90 percent planted with Tinto del Pais (Tempranillo) and 10 percent with Cabernet Sauvignon. One of Rodero’s best vineyard sites is on prime Ribera del Duero soil and has uncannily similar attributes to Chateauneuf-de-Pape; football-size rocks covering the 24 acre vineyard floor and widely spaced, thick-trunked 30 year-old vines, yielding only 1.5 tons per acre which produce concentrated, ripe, silky wines.
