IBERVITIS
IBERVITIS works to improve the biodiversity and resilience of vineyards in the Iberian Peninsula.
Viticulture
2023-2026
The international technological cooperation project, IBERVITIS, works with the aim of improving the biodiversity and resistance of the vineyards of the Iberian Peninsula through an innovative polyclonal selection methodology. Specifically, this technique will be applied to seven key Iberian varieties: Albariño, Arinto, Godello, Sercial, Rabo de ovelha, Rufete and Tempranillo. With the collaboration of the partners, the development of all the phases of polyclonal selection will be covered and the transfer of knowledge will be allowed, so that, once IBERVITIS is finished, all the members of the consortium can continue advancing with this polyclonal selection process and, through them, extend this knowledge to the rest of the Iberian wine sector.
Tecnicas viticolas proyecto RODA
Study of wine and winemaking techniques
Study of wine and winemaking techniques to reduce the perception of tannicity in quality wines made with Tempranillo in Ribera del Duero
Oenology
Viticulture
2009-2011
The main objective of this project is to reduce the perception of astringency in the red wines of Ribera without losing the rest of its positive organoleptic qualities such as its high coloring intensity, sensation of structure and body, and enormous intensity and aromatic complexity. The project has the collaboration of USAL, which studies the phenolic profile of the Ink of the Country of Ribera del Duero and its evolution throughout maturation; as well as the influence of phenolic maturity on the perception of astringency. It would be a question of designing a new red wine from Ribera de Duero adapted to the tastes of the consumer.

Selection of biotypes and creation of a Tinta del País germplasm bank in Ribera del Duero with biodynamic methodology
Viticulture
2013-2015
During the last century there has been an increase in the loss of agricultural biodiversity on a global scale. On the one hand, the current temperature evolution in the northern hemisphere clearly shows a global warming trend. These facts, together with a growing interest in the production and consumption of natural, ecological and biodynamic products lead Bodegas La Horra to design and develop the project called BIOGERM 2013.
