Bodegas La Horra Corimbo Red Wine
Bodegas La Horra is a modern, forward-thinking estate at the heart of Ribera del Duero , one of Spain's most celebrated red wine regions. Corimbo is their flagship expression, sourced from organically farmed vineyards in the villages of La Horra and Roa, with vines averaging around 20 years of age. It is a wine that captures the soul of the region with freshness, aromatic depth and genuine elegance. Why You'll Love It This is Ribera del Duero red wine at its most expressive and approachable. Corimbo strikes a beautiful balance between the power you expect from the region and a freshness that makes it genuinely versatile at the table. The organic farming brings a purity to the fruit, while 16 months in oak adds richness and spice without ever overwhelming the wine's natural character. Whether you're opening it tonight or cellaring it for a few years, Corimbo delivers. Vineyard and Production Grapes are hand-picked into 16kg crates and carefully sorted on arrival at the winery. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in a combination of wooden and stainless steel vats, with a maceration period of approximately 18 days to extract colour, structure and aromatic complexity. The wine is then aged for 16 months in a blend of 80% French oak and 20% American oak barrels, building texture and depth while preserving the vibrant fruit at its core. Tasting Notes Deep picota cherry in colour with a dark red rim. The nose is expressive and inviting, with red and black fruits, particularly cherry and blackberry, alongside mineral notes, aromatic herbs and fine spice. Subtle hints of wet earth, pine forest and fresh pistachio add intrigue. On the palate, broad and voluminous, with fine, polished tannins, red fruit flavours, delicate oak and a long, harmonious finish with a lingering freshness. Perfect Pairings A natural partner for the dinner table. Try it with roasted lamb, slow-braised beef, hearty stews or a classic Sunday roast. Also excellent alongside aged Manchego, charcuterie or
Neck Of The Woods Pinot Noir 2022
Neck of the Woods Pinot Noir is an elegant expression from Bendigo, Central Otago, crafted to showcase the purity and finesse of this classic sub-region. The wine exudes a refined, understated charm, with persistent bright red fruit and a supple, graceful structure that reflects the unique terroir of Bendigo. Vineyards and Terroir The fruit is sourced from two distinct Bendigo sites. The lower site on the flat river terrace sits at 230m, planted on young loessial/alluvial soils formed near the Clutha River, mapped as Molyneux shallow sandy loam. The upper site on the sloped Chinaman’s Terrace rises from 320–380m and features glacial terrace soils with fine clay, schist, rock, and a deep layer of windblown loess. These contrasting vineyard sites provide a harmonious balance of richness, structure, and elegance. Viticulture The fruit is hand-harvested at optimal ripeness, with the lower (warmer) site picked first and the two clones co-fermented with 20% whole clusters. The upper, terraced site was harvested about a week later, fermented in two vessels with 15–25% whole clusters. Across all fermentations, the grapes spent an average of 25 days on skins, including approximately seven days of active fermentation. Winemaking After gentle pressing at 2 bar without press cuts, the wine was settled overnight and transferred to fine-grain French oak barrels for full malolactic fermentation and maturation. Around 28% new oak from Francois Frères, Mercurey, D&J, and Ana Selection coopers was used, with 11 months in barrel before blending and bottling. Tasting Notes On the nose, aromas of plum, dark cherry, red liquorice, and rosemary unfold beautifully, leading to a palate of raspberry, cassis, and bright red fruits. Fine tannins and enduring freshness lend an athletic yet supple structure, reflecting Bendigo’s classic elegance. The wine’s restrained richness and graceful complexity make it a truly “class in a glass.” Technical Information pH: 3.66 | Total Acidity: 5.4 g/L | Wh
