Opinión de los críticos

The Wine Advocate:

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.

James Suckling:

Minerally, pure and bright, with aromas of fruit, chalk and a touch of white pepper. Fine, chalky tannins. Juicy and delicate, but there is lots of intensity and fruit on its rather ethereal palate. Drink now.
