The farm where Bodegas LA HORRA is located in the Ribera del Duero of Burgos, in the municipality of La Horra, in the area of La Horca, to the north of the Anguix road, and has 25 hectares, between vineyards and Pine forest.
The new winery will be built on the edge of a pine forest, in the northern part of the estate and will occupy 4,700m², which will be used for production, barrel aging, and the bottle rack, as well as a direct sales area and offices.
The existing warehouses, from the two initial phases, will now serve as a logistics center for labeling, storing the finished product, as well as auxiliary material, and housing the dispatch area. The total planned investment in the work, its facilities, and equipment is 9.5 million euros.

"Impressed by the magnificent views of the vineyards during our first visit to the place, the desire was for the new building to form part of the landscape without stridency, we could almost say symbiosis with the earth."

«When at Bodegas RODA we decided to diversify, we looked for another area where the Tempranillo variety was the star. In the end, we chose the Ribera del Duero in Burgos, and specifically La Horra, as the center of an incomparable wine-growing area. We met the brothers Pedro and Pablo Balbás, viticulturists from the town, and we were lucky to partner with them to create Bodegas La Horra S.L. in 2009. As a result of this union, CORIMBO, and CORIMBO I were born. Today we are taking a big step with the construction of the definitive, sustainable, and highly energy-efficient winery, and in which our team, together with Carme Pinós and her studio, have analyzed every detail. This is a highly relevant project for the RODA Group, whose total investment is 9.5 M euros, which will undoubtedly reinforce the strength of our group”.
Mario Rotllant, President of the RODA Group
"The landscape of La Horra is made up of hills with poor, limestone soils, crowned by pine forests and full of aromatic plants: marjorams, lavender, helichrysum, and rockrose, which form a universe of fresh, balsamic, fruity, and spicy aromas. CORIMBO and CORIMBO I collect every detail of this magnificent environment and express a new vision of the Burgos Ribera in which elegance and freshness take the leading role. Carme immediately grasped our philosophy and has designed a winery that allows each nuance of this environment to be extracted delicately: using gravity and the natural temperature of the subsoil."
Agustín Santolaya, CEO of Grupo RODA.
