Wild cherries, strawberries and red mulberries. Quite different in texture on the palate compared with Granito. A little more linear on the palate with chalky, minerally attractive tannins. Long, fresh and drinkable. Enjoy now.

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! It was bottled in April 2023 after it matured in 500- and 600-liter barrels for two winters.
