R&D projects

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.

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.
