Bodegas Félix Callejo is located in Sotillo de la Ribera, at the heart of the “Ribera del Duero” Denomination of Origin. From its birth in 1989 as an answer to a long family tradition, the venture has thrived thanks to the enthusiasm and drive which the Callejo family has dedicated to it. To achieve the desired result, they sought collaboration and help from only the best specialists, and this is how they have built their new cellar equipped with the most modern technology that distinguishes its style. From this moment, the Callejo family has been dedicated to producing and ageing some of the best wines.
Since the first harvest - Tinto Callejo 1989 – the Callejo wines have merited a presence on the world stage. Since 1993 all of this effort has been rewarded, not only in the commercial environment, but also in the favourable opinion of wine professionals. Callejo has won numerous national and international awards.

Winemaker's Notes
This wine has great life and boldness. It evokes the passion for the Tempanillo grape, the same passion our grandfather passed on to our father, Félix Callejo, and which he in turn transmits to us each day.
This wine offers aromas of black fruit, violets, cracked pepper and tarragon. It is dense and layered, with a soft velvet texture and firm, ripe tannins. A tremendous wine.

Flores de Callejo
Origin: Ribera del Duero, Spain
Founded in 1989, Bodegas Felix Callejo is made up of 27 vineyards distributed along the profile of Sotillo de la Ribera, and located in different places and different soils, forming a total of 54.8 Ha. The diversity of soils, orientations, altitudes and their respectful winery management, allows them to show the landscape through the varieties with which they work: Tinto Fino (Tempranillo), Garnacha, Albillo Mayor and Merlot.
Vinification
All the fruit is hand-picked and transferred to the cellars in small crates, followed by a careful sorting of bunches and berries on a double sorting table. The bunches are de-stemmed and the berries put into fermentation vats whole, without crushing, and left for a cold soak at 10ºC. The alcoholic fermentation starts naturally with the skins' indigenous yeasts around the fifth day in vat. After the alcoholic fermentation has finished, the skins are left in contact with the new wine for 3 days. The wine is then run off into another vat for the malolactic fermentation.

Gran Callejo
Origin: Ribera del Duero, Spain
The vineyard consists of very light sandy limestone soils. The grapes were selected from the lower yielding plots for their potential to reach optimum levels of ripeness and to produce long-ageing wines for the Gran Callejo.
Vinification
Alcoholic fermentation with native yeasts at low temperatures. Malo-lactic fermentation in second-fill French oak barrels followed by a further 24 months in barrels. Matured in the winery for a further 5 years in the bottle. This is considered to be one of the best wines of Ribera Del Duero, thanks to the excellent quality and health of the grapes when picked

Parajes de Callejo
Origin: Ribera del Duero, Spain
Situated in one of the highest parts of the Ribera Del Duero, the Callejo family have been creating outstanding wines since 1989. Focusing on the Tempranillo grape, each of their wines showcases a different characteristic of their vineyard. Due to the high altitude the grapes ripen nicely whilst retaining great levels of acidity. This is their flagship wine, hailing from Sotillo De La Ribera and bearing the family name.

Winemaker's Notes
Exploding out of the glass with an intense cherry colour, notes on the nose of lilac, ripe dark berries, rosemary, cedar and hints of smoke. The palate is full bodied, intense and inky. Abundant in rounded tannins, well balanced acidity and a sliver of minerality on the finish make this an outstanding experience from start to end.
