Callejuela

Palomino sherries from Jerez's solera tradition, rated by Wine Advocate.

Callejuela produces sherries from Jerez in Andalucía, Spain's storied fortified wine region. The winery works with Palomino, the traditional grape of the Jerez appellation, crafting wines through the solera system—a method of fractional blending that marries younger wines with older reserves. Astronáutica Manzanilla Pasada, the winery's flagship, is a bone-dry, aged manzanilla that expresses the mineral salinity and yeast-driven complexity characteristic of the style. Manzanilla de Anada offers a fresher expression of the same grape, while Soleras de Almacenista La Olvidada Macharnudo draws from the winery's aged reserves. Wine Advocate has rated these releases, recognizing their precision and depth. Each wine reflects the particular terroir of Jerez and the deliberate patience required by solera production.
