Wine information
The first-class Felix Callejo winery is located in Sotillo de la Ribera, one of the coolest places in the Ribera del Duero wine-growing region, which gives the wines a certain extra freshness. The climate here is strictly continental, with cold winters and hot summers and large temperature differences between day and night. The "Majuelos de Callejo 2020" is a single-varietal Tempranillo whose vines grow on barren gravel soils at an altitude of 870 to 890 metres. The red wine is fermented with indigenous yeasts and matured for 18 months in 500-litre oak barrels.
Color
Purple red with violet reflections
Nose
The bouquet offers a cool minerality, plus plum, mulberry and rosemary. The nose is fruity, earthy and above all fresh. It leaves a stimulating and complex overall impression.
Palate
The Majuelos de Callejo 2020 stands for powerful elegance. It has the full body and tannin-rich structure that we know from red wines from Ribera del Duero. At the same time, it is fresh, full of tension and has a polished texture thanks to the silky tannins, which is stunning. The wood is also excellently integrated. This wine is Ribera del Duero "at its best" Dark fruit meets cool, earthy minerality. This has depth, great length and a great drinking flow and is perfectly balanced overall.
