Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2021 Pegaso Barrancos de Pizarra comes from the vines on the mid slope and has a very elegant, fragrant nose with notes of concentrated violet and a solid palate. The slate tannins give a talcum powder texture, and the wine opens up in the mid-palate, making it very expansive. In the long term, it seems like the slate gives a better palate and the granite is more nose. Given the longer cycle and slow ripeness of the grapes, the wine has contained ripeness and 14.5% alcohol and is more polished and with integrated acidity. This has the combination of the cooler year and the resilience of the slate soils, coming through as complex and elegant, powerful and concentrated but with an ethereal side to it too. Bravo! 5,815 bottles produced. It was bottled in April 2023 after it matured in 500- and 600-liter barrels for two winters.

Description
Pegaso Barrancos de Pizarra is a wine produced by Compañía de Vinos Telmo Rodríguez in collaboration with the pilot Carlos Sainz. This wine is a single varietal Grenache, grown in vineyards in the Sierra de Gredos, in Cebreros, Ávila. The vines, more than 80 years old, are located on slate soils over metamorphic rock, at an altitude of between 950 and 1,200 metres above sea level, facing east.
Winemaking
The viticulture is traditional and organic, with manual harvesting in boxes. Fermentation is carried out with indigenous yeasts in oak vats, vats and stainless steel vats, and ageing lasts between 24 and 30 months in 400 and 500 litre French oak barrels before bottling.
Taste
Pegaso Barrancos de Pizarra stands out for its deep and balanced flavour. It has an intense cherry colour. On the nose, it offers notes of undergrowth such as rockrose, rosemary and lavender, complemented by balsamic and mineral hints. In the mouth, it is an intense and balanced wine, with a fine texture and elegant tannins, which transmits a sensation of harmony. It is an aromatic, floral and perfumed wine, which combines well with red meats and stews. We recommend serving it at a temperature of 16ºC to appreciate all its characteristics.
