Pegaso is a renowned winery located in the Gredos region of Spain, known for its dedication to producing high-quality wines that reflect the unique terroir of the area. The Gredos Arrebatacapas Pegaso is crafted from Garnacha grapes, a varietal celebrated for its vibrant fruit flavors and versatility. The wine hails from the Gredos Mountains, a region that provides a distinctive microclimate and granite soils, contributing to the wine's complexity and minerality. The winemaking process involves careful fermentation and aging in oak barrels, which imparts subtle notes of spice and enhances the wine's structure. On the palate, this wine offers a harmonious blend of red fruit flavors, balanced acidity, and fine tannins, making it an excellent pairing with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and aged cheeses.

The 2018 Pegaso Barrancos de Pizarra was produced with Garnacha from 80+-year-old vines on slopes rich in schist. It fermented in oak and stainless steel vats and amphorae with indigenous yeasts and matured in 500- and 600-liter French oak barrels for 24 months. Against all odds, because the wines from schist tend to be more closed than the ones from granite, the wine is super expressive and open, aromatic, floral and perfumed. It's powerful and elegant, with structure and freshness, with balance and all the ingredients for a great development in bottle.
