Telmo Calleja 2021 – An iconic Ribera del Duero with soul and power

Telmo Calleja 2021 – Ribera del Duero in world class

A wine with character, history and uncompromising quality 🍷

When it comes to Pure Ribera del Duero, one grape reigns supreme: Tempranillo. And with Telmo Calleja 2021, we prove that no one does it better! At Whiskystack, we are proud to say that we are the world's only distributor of this unique wine – and yes, it's the one we drink ourselves when it's something really special.

Created in collaboration with the renowned winery Bodegas A&M (formerly Bodegas Ceres), this wine is both a passionate family project and a masterpiece of taste and balance. Named after winemaker Natalia Calleja's son and featuring Telmo himself on the label alongside owner Jesus Asenjo – a picture of love, heritage and dedication to the craft of wine.

Taste and aroma that impresses from the first glass

At first sniff, Telmo Calleja 2021 reveals a complex and inviting aroma of ripe red berries – cherries, figs and juicy plums blend with notes of rosemary, anise and fennel. A hint of coffee and cigar box adds depth and elegance.

On the tongue, the wine goes from fruity to powerful with a full and harmonious structure. A wine that lives here and now – and promises even more with age.

Tradition and modern finesse in perfect harmony

With grapes from vines up to 80 years old and an average age of 45, you can clearly sense the background behind the wine's depth. But at the same time, Telmo Calleja is no old-fashioned great – freshness, lively acidity and a balanced fruit note make it relevant to modern palates.

The option to age it for up to 10 years or enjoy it now makes it a versatile wine that is unparalleled in its price range.
