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.
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.
Alegre Valgañón is de combinatie van de achternamen van de oprichters, het echtpaar bestaande uit de landbouwingenieurs Óscar Alegre en Eva María Valgañón.
Desde luego me ha gustado bastante más que el alegre valgañon tinto 2021, pero tampoco me parece algo mega especial, para probar...bien!!!
