Callejo, Gran Callejo, Ribera del Duero 2018

Winemaker Notes
“For the elaboration of a "Great" a lot of patience is required. We select those loose soils, where sands predominate, at altitudes that allow maintaining a balanced, elegant Tinto Fino, that lasts and evolves in this long aging of 2 years in French oak and more than 3 years in bottle. Always faithful to our style of preserving the essence that we find in the vineyard, it is in this “gran" where we see the potential of our vineyards in Sotillo and how time so finely shapes the Tinto Fino.”

Tasting Notes
It has a ruby red cherry colour. Notes of ripe fruit, minerals, aromatic herbs, eucalyptus, white pepper, cocoa and hints of undergrowth on the nose. Fresh on the palate with sensations of red fruit, balsamic, cocoa berry, laurel and with tannin still marked.

The Technical Part
Our landscape is located in the village of Sotillo de la Ribera, province of Burgos, on the northern edge of the Duero river basin, in a privileged environment, due to its high altitude (830 - 930 m), where the moors (páramo) of the highest areas, with limestone soils, give way as we follow the erosion of the valley, to gravel soils (old river beds), sandy areas in the pine area, and clays in the lower areas .
