A bold and expressive single-vineyard Tempranillo from high-altitude vines. Intense yet beautifully refined – Ribera at its most elegant.
This is serious Ribera del Duero – powerful, dark and structured, but with a freshness that lifts everything. Expect deep black cherry and bramble fruit, layers of spice, and hints of cedar and graphite. The oak is there but beautifully integrated, giving a polished, savoury edge without overpowering the fruit.
The texture is silky, the tannins are firm but ripe, and the finish goes on and on. A wine to pour slowly, savour fully, and maybe even lay down if you’ve got the patience.

“Tempranillo can do a lot of things – and here it’s showing off its serious side. This is a structured, age-worthy red with real finesse. It’s intense without being heavy, and has that lovely balance of richness and lift that you only get from great sites and thoughtful winemaking.”
Bodega Félix Callejo is a family-run estate based in Sotillo de la Ribera, in the northern reaches of Ribera del Duero. Founded in the 1980s, it’s now led by the second generation, with winemaking duties handled by Félix’s children, José Félix and Noelia. They work organically, focusing on expressing the character of their high-altitude vineyards, many of which sit above 900m.
Finca Valderoble is a single vineyard with clay-limestone soils and bush-trained Tempranillo vines. The altitude gives the fruit excellent freshness and tension, helping balance the natural power of the region. Fermentation is carried out with wild yeasts, and the wine is aged in French oak for around 14 months before bottling.
This is top-end Ribera with a modern edge – ripe, structured and complex, but lifted by freshness and finesse. A real showcase of what high-altitude Tempranillo can do, and a wine that’ll only get better with time.
