Bodegas Félix Callejo Parajes

Parajes is a refined red wine that impressively expresses the elegance and purity of the terroir. Sourced from carefully selected parcels, this wine reflects a philosophy that focuses on balance, precision and drinkability.

The grapes are harvested by hand from vineyards with poor, stony soils, which contributes to concentration and finesse in the wine. The relatively cool climate means the grapes retain their natural freshness, adding tension and structure to the final result.

In the glass, the wine presents itself with a bright ruby red colour. The bouquet is elegant and layered, with aromas of red fruits such as cherry and raspberry, complemented by floral notes, a subtle spicy character and a slight earthy undertone. On the palette, the Parajes offers a silky texture, refined tannins and lively acidity. Flavours of juicy red fruits, dried herbs and a hint of spice lead to a long, harmonious finish.

The wine matures for around 18 months in French oak barrels, deliberately limiting the use of new wood to let the fruit and terroir speak for themselves. This results in a wine where subtlety and complexity go hand in hand.

The Parajes pairs excellently with refined meat dishes such as lamb saddle, game dishes or pigeon. Thanks to its balance between freshness and structure, the wine has a storage potential of around 6 to 8 years and develops beautifully in bottle.
