We are very satisfied about it.

The prestigious world prescriptor, James Suckling, has described this wine as ‘A fine, complex Ribera del Duero, that shows hidden depth of minerals. Full-bodied and juicy, with tense, silky tannins and a lengthy finish’. It also highlights its ageing capacity and awards it 94 points.

Dominio de Calogía Doble M 2020 also receives 93 points and defines it as ‘An excellent, well-structured Ribera del Duero that can be enjoyed now, but will improve further over the next 3-5 years.’

Kathy Laurini, NASA Human Research program manager and Special Manned Spaceflight lead, and Steve Doering, Technology and Integration Executive at NASA’s Marshall Spaceflight Center visited DOMAIN OF CALOGY, along with entrepreneurs Jorge Hernandez and Alberto Polo.

Kathy and Steve showed great interest in the winemaking process from a technical point of view and enjoyed the tasting organized by José Manuel Pérez Ovejas. José Manuel was also curious and asked them about space and the unknowns that still surround our universe.

Wine and space research. Two exciting worlds that came together for a day. Who knows if someday we will be able to taste a Dominio de Calogía in space.

“It is an elegant, fine and well-balanced red wine. It presents a remarkable freshness, with notes of ripe fruit, flowers, sweet spices and mineral background”. This is how the prestigious journalist Mara Sánchez describes it in her article published in The Objective, who also adds: “It is fleshy, fresh in the mouth, with polished and fluid tannins on the palate. It can be kept, because it has cellaring capacity, but it is ready to be enjoyed now.” ”It is an elegant, fine red wine with good balance.

Article published by Ramon Françás in La Vanguardia.

José Manuel Pérez Ovejas wanted to pay tribute to his children Manuela and Mauro with this red wine from a vineyard in Burgos planted at 830 metres above sea level. Neatness and finesse, great balance balance with good acidity.

Vinifying separate plots gives the winemaker the privilege of knowing the character of each vineyard. This is what happened to José Manuel Pérez Ovejas when year after year he saw how the north-facing Pago La Loma plot with sandy and pebbly soils ripened somewhat later. There is a well-defined style for the cool vintage that it was. Predominant fruit notes with a very precise point of seasoning. The mineral background makes it elegant and complex. Liquorice notes and a masterfully distributed barrel. Fleshy, fresh, tasty and with sweet tannins that are a delight. It can be enjoyed now, but it has the capacity to evolve in the bottle.

Another recognition for our DOBLE M.

In the latest issue of the magazine PlanetaVino, nº 114 of the month of June-July, the prestigious journalist Andrés Proensa scores it with 96 points, titling it:

“FRESHNESS IN THE HEART OF THE RIBERA”.

We invite you to read his interesting description.

Best regards

If it’s an even year, a new Calogia arrives. In recent times, the young project of José Manuel Pérez Ovejas has been bringing in new references at a rate of one every two years. He launched it in 2019 with a single initial wine that saw the light of day in 2021; the following year he launched Dominio de Calogia Cuvée S, presented as a wine of greater selection; the third one arrives now and it is a more accessible proposal in terms of price. Not in style, because Dominio de Calogia has always been modern, fruity and fresh, with a careful management of the riparian grape variety and oak ageing. And, always, without leaving the heart of the Ribera burgalesa, that privileged area of Roa, la Horra, Pedrosa, La Aguilera, Anguix…
Doble M explores the freshest line of the Ribera de Duero, without losing a noble energy, without tannic pastiness, a style that links with the approach of this winery and with the vanguard of the reds of the area, many nuances in a deep, concentrated nose, based on the fruity expression of good maturity, black fruits, blue flowers, with floral notes (lilacs) and balsamic and a spicy touch of well-measured ageing. With a lot of nerve in the mouth, it does not lack body or consistency, with a clear reference to the caste of the area, but the acidity and balance give it a plus of finesse; tasty, ample and fine in aromas, long.

The Master of Wine, Pedro Ballesteros Torres MW, has written this comment in the IWSC- Club Oenologique “THE SPAIN REPORT 2024” in which he mentions our DOMINIO DE CALOGÍA 2021, and highlights it among the Great Wines of the Ribera del Duero, awarding it a score of 95 points.

“Again, classic powerful and assertive Spanish styles coexist with very modern, subtle and delicate interpretations. Dominio de Calogía, Sei Solo or Bosque de Matasnos are probably in the latter group, now rubbing shoulders with the great representatives of the classic style: renowned Ribera wineries such as Vega-Sicilia, Carraovejas or Valtravieso. I think that most of the top-scoring wines within the Ribera del Duero Report are extremely likely to improve over long periods of time, whichever the wine style”

The prestigious journalist Pedro Ballesteros MW includes it in the selection of the best wines of Ribera del Duero, which have obtained more than 95 points. In this report he places Dominio de Calogía as a clear example of a wine whose style “is based on concentration, very ripe fruit, intense oak ageing (less and less evident) and density, with great balance”, considering it among the greatest of the Ribera Del Duero.

He describes it as follows:

Amazingly ripe fruit, at that magical point when black and blue berries are not yet plums.
Intensely oaked, because it is made for the long run. It is big but round, quite impressive on
the attack, but with a gentle and suave touch. Its parsimonious finish demands alot of
attention in order to grasp its complexity. A great Roa wine made by José Manuel Pérez
Ovejas. a founder of the greatest Ribera style when he was at Pérez Pascuas. This wine should be kept in bottle for several years.
