Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
It seems like the warm year worked well with the slate soils, and the 2022 Pegaso Barrancos de Pizarra feels extremely elegant and balanced within the showy style of the year. It reflects the warm and dry conditions with 15% alcohol, a pH of 3.36 and 5.85 grams of acidity. The grapes come from vines 80-plus years old at 800 to 1,000 meters above sea level on slate soils ('pizarra' is the Spanish word for 'slate'). It fermented in oak vats, stainless steel and clay tinajas and matured in 500- and 600-liter French oak barrels for 24 months. 6,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in June 2024.

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.
