Telmo Rodríguez Pegaso Barrancos De Pizarra Cebreros Sierra De Gredos Tinto

Description

The Pizarra vineyards are planted on metamorphic soils at elevations above 950 m, reaching up to 1,200 m. Wines produced here exhibit a pronounced character, delivering a complex and deep tasting experience. The red wine Pegaso Pizarra Vinhas Velhas is made from the Garnacha grape, sourced from organically cultivated vines. After natural fermentation, the wine ages for 24 to 30 months in French oak barrels. Cebreros lies at the crossroads between north and south, where the Imperial Way and the Cañada Real intersect. Historically, it was a center of glass production, and in the 19th century viticulture became essential. In 1999, Telmo Rodríguez restored the Garnacha vines (also known as Grenache) from the Arrebatacapas slope, the most important slate landscape in the Gredos, producing Pegaso Barrancos de Pizarra. Today, Cebreros is an international category, where our Barrancos de Pizarra and Granito showcase the uniqueness of this extreme place. (illustrative image only)
