Wine in La Horra, Burgos, Ribera del Duero

Bodegas La Horra (Corimbo) ★ 4.6

La Horra is the Ribera del Duero project of Rioja house Roda, making two wines - Corimbo and Corimbo I - from organically farmed old bush-vine Tinto Fino plots in La Horra, Roa, Anguix, La Aguilera, and Quintana del Pidio. The wines are elegant and mineral rather than opulent, more Burgundian in feel than the thick-extracted style that dominated early-2000s Ribera. Locally celebrated; less promoted internationally than its Rioja sibling.

Tip: Book visits through Roda's tourism office; wines available through Berry Bros & Rudd and Spanish fine wine merchants.
