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. All of the wines are 100% Tempranillo from estate vineyards and are fermented with native yeasts. They are meticulous in every facet of winemaking- down to playing opera to the wine while it sits in the barrel room maturing! "Callejo’s 2008 Cuatro Meses en Barrica is 100% estate-grown Tempranillo aged for 4 months in French and American oak. Dark ruby-colored, it proffers an alluring nose of lavender, spice box, mineral, and black cherry. Sweetly-fruited, smooth-textured, and savory, this nicely balanced, layered effort will deliver pleasure over the next 6 years." R. Parker
