Tasting Notes

"La Calleja was not bottled in 2020, so the 2021 La Calleja is going to be released a little earlier. It's a brilliant vintage for this wine, from a year they consider exceptional for Tempranillo. It has a classical, serious and austere profile with a cool-climate feeling to it and with very integrated oak; it always ferments in the same 6,000-liter oak foudre and matured in a combination of concrete and oak foudres for two years with two rackings. It should age beautifully in bottle. 4,300 bottles were filled in May 2023."
94, Luis Gutiérrez, Wine Advocate

ProducerBodega Alegre Valgañon

Winemaker Oscar Alegre and his wife, Eva Valgañon, are leading a revolution in Spain, championing a return to Rioja’s ancient traditions and making wine as it was before Phylloxera and French influence in the late 19th century. Alegre Valgañon produces beautifully sculpted Rioja from the cool north-west of the region, using exceptional sites with old vines—often field blends—and minimal oak influence. All wines are crafted outside the Crianza-Reserva-Gran Reserva ageing system, aiming to showcase local styles and the character of each individual site. This winery captures something truly special, and we are delighted to bring their wines to the UK market.
