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.

Winemaker's Notes

Lively, deep dense red colour with delicate aromas of wild forest flowers. Ripe tropical fruit characters. Mineral touches come through against a backdrop of spicy and smoky notes. Hints of just picked grapes on the palate along with fresh tannins. In the mouth it is full with a long lingering finish.

Flores de Callejo, , Callejo

Flores de Callejo

Origin: Ribera del Duero, Spain

Bodegas Callejo has rolled out some major rebranding of late and it's great to report that the new labels finally do justice to the quality in their bottles. The 'Flores de Callejo' replaces the previously name '6 Meses' and it's a much more apt name and label for the budding flower in the Callejo stable. From the 'muy excellente' 2010 vintage the inaugural Flores is as juicy and vivacious and terroir-branded as Tempranillo at this price point can get. As you can read below, the winemaking is remarkably artisanal for a 10,000 case bottling.

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 were de-stemmed and the berries put into fermentation vats whole, without crushing, and left for a cold soak at 10ºC. The alcoholic fermentation started naturally with the skins' indigenous yeasts around the fifth day in vat. After the alcoholic fermentation had finished, the skins were left in contact with the new wine for 3 days. The wine was then run off into another vat for the malo-lactic fermentation.

Winemaker's Notes

Intense cherry colour, The nose is very aromatic with plenty of wild red and black fruits. Notes of licorice and coffee are also expressed. Ripe tannins on the palate are matched with a mouth cleansing acidity and layers of ripe black fruits.

Gran Callejo, , Callejo

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.
