Félix Callejo was born in Sotillo de la Ribera, in a family with a long tradition in the world of wine. Both his grandfather Faustino and his father Felix owned vineyards, in addition to being "wine brokers", a kind of commercial agent, in charge of selling the items of wine made in Sotillo.

At age 16, he had to assume the reins of the family business after the death of his father. Restless by nature, he always had the dream of making his own wine.

The reward comes in 1989, when the first harvest comes to light. From the beginning, its maxim has been to make known the greatness of our wines, making trips around the world, from Japan to America, attending fairs, contacting new customers. He has been a pioneer, always with his bottle under his arm, when introducing Ribera del Duero wines, in countries where there was hardly any wine culture.
