What it pairs with

  • Grilled lamb chops
    The bright acidity and medium body pair naturally with charcoal-grilled Burgos lamb.
  • Chorizo a la sidra
    Spiced sausage in cider matches the wine's herb and spice register.
  • Soft Manchego
    Fresh sheep's milk cheese and the wine's cherry notes are an easy, pleasant pairing.

History

Jose Felix Callejo planted the estate's first vines at Sotillo de la Ribera in the late 1980s and began commercial production around 1990. The estate achieved certified organic status and has passed management to daughter Noelia Callejo, who has focused on high-altitude expression.
