The wine house

Bodegas Félix Callejo

Ribera del Duero

Félix Callejo took the helm of the family business when he was just sixteen years old. His grandfather Faustino and father Félix were both winegrowers and "corredores de vino", a kind of broker who sold the wines of Sotillo de la Ribera. With his own bottle under his arm, Félix became a pioneer in introducing Ribera del Duero wines to countries with scarcely any wine culture. Together with his wife Pilar, he formally founded the company. Today the second generation, with children Beatriz, Noelia, José Félix and Cristina, runs the vineyards. These lie at 830 to 930 metres, among the highest and coolest sites in the appellation, with day-night temperature differences that can exceed 15 degrees. José Félix learned his craft at, among others, the legendary Pétrus in Bordeaux. Worth knowing: in 2021, wine critic Tim Atkin named José Félix Callejo Winemaker of the Year, a worldwide accolade that put the house even more firmly on the map.
