Flores de Callejo 2021

Explore Flores de Callejo, Bodegas Félix Callejo’s entry-level gem crafted solely from Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) grapes in DO Ribera del Duero. This quality-driven winery carefully sources grapes from two parcels nestled in the Duero river basin, ranging from 850 to 930 meters above sea level. The diverse soil composition, including limestone, clay, sand, and pebble stones, imparts unique terroir characteristics.

The winemaking process is a meticulous journey from vineyard to cellar. Grapes undergo a dual selection process, both in the vineyard and during destemming. Cold-soaked and fermented in stainless steel tanks with indigenous yeasts, the wine then macerates for three days. The Ribera del Duero red experiences spontaneous malolactic fermentation, ensuring a nuanced and expressive character.

The final touch involves partial aging for five months, with a harmonious blend of French oak barrels and stainless steel tanks. This thoughtful combination allows Flores de Callejo 2021 to flourish, capturing the essence of its terroir and the vibrancy of the Tinto Fino grapes. Immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of flavors, where the altitude, soil diversity, and meticulous winemaking converge to create a distinctive Ribera del Duero red that exemplifies Bodegas Félix Callejo’s commitment to quality and craftsmanship.
