Bodegas J. A. Calvo Casajus is located in Ribera del Duero. It is owned and operated by its namesake, Jose Alberto Calvo Casajus. It is literally a one-man operation with Casajus also doubling as his village’s baker.
Tasting Notes
Intense nose with lots of nuances and aromas of sweet berries, truffles, spice and licorice. Pronounced blackberry flavour with licorice and mineral notes and ripe round tannins.
Method
This wine is made with 100% Tinta Fina (Tempranillo) grapes from vineyards located in Quintana del Pidio, in the heart of the Ribera del Duero appellation in the province of Burgos. The vines are 85 years old. The grapes are hand harvested and fermented in stainless steel and aged six months in new French oak.
Our Thoughts
The wines of Casajus warm my soul; they are crafted out of love and passion with a great respect for the traditions of Ribera del Duero, but with a modern sensibility that makes them more elegant than the once brooding wines from this region. Sweet berries, licorice and minerality…oh my!

Perfect. Full body goes great with a move cut of meat.

A real surprise at this price – nose and finish are very similar to a great first or second growth Bordeaux. Thanks Bishops!
