Awards/Ratings
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 95+ (Luis Gutiérrez, review of 2020). Other Pegaso vintages have earned high scores from James Suckling (up to 97) and consistent critical praise

Tasting Note
Perfumed Garnacha with raspberries, black cherry, hibiscus, lavender and garrigue; slate-driven minerality, savory herb notes, juicy acidity, round fine tannins and medium–full body with a lingering, spice-tinged finish.

Food Pairing
Western: roasted lamb, grilled beef, venison, stews, aged Manchego and sheep’s milk cheeses. Asian: Peking duck, char siu, Korean BBQ, spicy Sichuan beef, mushroom stir‑fries and savory yakitori.

Production Method
Hand‑harvested old‑vine Garnacha; organic, low‑intervention farming. Fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged ~12 months in used French oak barrels; minimal sulfur at bottling.

Vineyard Info
Telmo Rodríguez’s Pegaso project; recovered 1953 Garnacha on steep, south‑facing red‑slate slopes in Arrebatacapas. Small-production, artisanal bottlings (1,474 bottles for 2020).
