2023 Callejo Flores de Callejo
Grape
Tempranillo
Its Origins
Rated by Tim Atkin MW as one of the 'First Growth' Estates of Ribera del Duero. Alongside such icons as Vega Sicilia and Dominio de Pingus. The Callejo family owns 60 hectares of low yielding Tempranillo vines (Tinto Fino as it is known in Ribera del Duero) ranging in age from 25-70 years. Felix Callejo uses grapes from its Estate only. The grapes are carefully selected and hand picked into small cases of 30 pounds. Carried in small quantities, there is no danger of having the grape skins break and sparking an undesired premature fermentation. The crates are taken directly to the winery, where they go through two selection tables, the second one selecting grape by grape and discarding any imperfect grapes.
What The Critics Say
92/100 Wine Enthusiast, Mike DeSimone (2022 vintage)
"Aromas of black plum, mocha and lavender waft from the glass. Warming flavors of clove, mint leaf, milk chocolate and black cherry fill the palate alongside velvety tannins that drift away into a slightly spicy finish."
