Our philosophy is to evoke the landscape in every single bottle. Our farming and wine-making techniques are oriented to never hiding the essence of our varieties, climates and soils. The wines produced are elegant and fresh, complex and serious but easy to drink. Wines meant to be enjoyed and that never let anyone down. Every vintage shows its own characteristics, never losing the high quality that characterizes both wineries.

Founded in 1987 by the Family Rotllant Daurella looking for bringing into the wine world their passion and love for wine and for helping Rioja move towards a more modern and sustainable style. We follow a non-interventionist and respectful philosophy, we keep our environment safe without using any chemical products in our vineyards and we transmit Tempranillo´s essence in our wines that follow spontaneous processes. We have been sustainable since our beginning and are in the process of becoming 100% organic. We aim to be revolutionary, not trendy. Our wines are considered the most classic within the modern or the most modern within the classic.

Ribera del Duero is becoming more and more important and is such a remarkable region. The climate, purely continental makes Tempranillos in the region powerful and voluptuous. The altitude in Ribera is higher than in Rioja, and the vines are closer to the sun which allows the grapes to get to their perfect ripening point. The Duero river brings the freshness needed. Bodegas La Horra always looks for this freshness and elegance in their wines.
