Felix Callejo Tempranillo

The Callejo family are crafting some of the finest, brightest and flavoursome Tempranillo we have tasted. The wines are plump, full of fruit and modern in the best sense. The Callejo vineyards are brilliant; between 850-900 metres in altitude, south facing, rich in limestone and located in the excellent Sotillo de la Ribera area. Old vines are the norm. The viticulture is organic and everything here is done by hand, according to the minimal intervention model; manual harvesting, natural yeast fermentation, no fining or filtering. Add the next-gen passion of the two, young, well travelled Callejo siblings (more below) and the results are quite delectable. Supple, fruit pure, expressive and thoroughly enjoyable new wave Tempranillo from the heart of old Castile. It should be noted that these wines represent quite a contrast to the Alejandro Fernandez Tempranillo wines we offer – no less valid, just a different, more silken, fruit pure style.
