CIRSION from Bodegas Roda is one of the most unique and exclusive wines from the collection of SDS International in Panama. Only a few bottles of each vintage can be acquired due to the small production of this wine that bears a beautiful story on the ability of Bodegas Roda to stay one step ahead when it comes to research and innovation is concerned. We invite you to learn about CIRSION:
We note, in 1995, that some strains produced grapes that taste was very different from the plants around. While the usual sense of a grape tasting fruit is fresh, sour and sweet, we find that in these cases was the feeling of fullness, volume, records closer to a wine than a grape.
.
This discovery made us reflect on the cause of the phenomenon and led us to study if it was repeated over the years and in other vineyards.
.
We found that there was some bias in some plants to be repeated, but in addition to genetics and its microclimate, influenced also add the effect of weather.
.
We began to think that this phenomenon could be linked to a high level of polymerization of tannins in the grape itself, when it was customary to believe that the combination of tannins with other occurred in the winemaking process and mainly during barrel aging.
.
If this were true, the strains were playing a substitute role of parenting and we prepared separately the grapes would get a wine of great smoothness and prevent the wood from stealing fruit from his wealth.
.
The year we make our first CIRSION 1997, which was not released and found that with a short breeding, reached a level of incredible smoothness and complexity unusual fruit. The next step was to visually identify the symptoms of the plants and form a group of harvesters able to detect them.
.
Each year, during vintages we tour some of our vineyards looking for this curious natural rarity and thus, in a thousand, collected CIRSION grapes.

La experiencia fue reveladora para todos los participantes, descubrir la importancia de la influencia del terroir en 5 vinos elaborados con una misma variedad y de añadas semejantes (3 del 2005, 1 de 2004 y 1 de 2006).
