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
Torres Salmos Priorat
Torres Salmos is a powerful, characterful red from the rugged heart of Priorat, one of Spain's most prestigious wine regions. Crafted by Familia Torres from Cariñena and Garnacha , it is a wine shaped by extreme terrain, ancient soils, and centuries of winemaking heritage. Why You'll Love It Priorat is one of only two Spanish regions to hold the coveted DOCa status, and Salmos captures everything that makes it exceptional. Familia Torres, one of Spain's most respected producers, honours the legacy of the Carthusian monks who first cultivated vines here over 800 years ago, while delivering a wine that is unmistakably modern in its precision and polish. This is Priorat at a genuinely accessible price point. Vineyard & Production The vineyards sit on steep slopes of llicorella, the distinctive black slate soil unique to Priorat, which forces vines to dig deep for water and nutrients, concentrating flavour dramatically. Extreme diurnal temperature swings between day and night preserve natural acidity and aromatic complexity. The wine is aged in oak, adding structure and depth without masking the raw intensity of the terroir. Tasting Notes Deep ruby in colour, Salmos opens with aromas of ripe black fruit, balsamic notes, and subtle spice. The palate is powerful yet refined, with concentrated blackberry and plum flavours supported by well-integrated oak. Firm tannins and lively acidity carry through to a long, mineral-tinged finish, a hallmark of the slate soils beneath. Perfect Pairings A natural partner for roasted lamb, game dishes, rich stews, and mature cheeses. Its structure and intensity make it equally at home alongside hearty Mediterranean cuisine or a well-aged cote de boeuf. The Blend Cariñena and Garnacha
