The Sierra de Gredos border region is in the middle of the country: this is where north and south separate, barely an hour from Madrid. There are conifers, juniper bushes, rosemary and lavender. On the dry and stony soil, old Garnacha plantations are scattered like vegetables, at an altitude of 800-1,000 metres. The air is cool, clean and filled with spices. The same image captured Telmo Rodríguez when he started his estate here, in Pegaso, in 1999.

The name was inspired by a 1940 Spanish car that’s familiar to collectors, the project started with a couple of abandoned plots, and Telmo's partner is none other than rally and Dakar legend, Carlos Sainz Sr.

This is the village wine of the Pegaso range. Pleasant, delicious and easy to understand. A blend of such renowned vineyards as Robledillo, Mojón and Presidente. The organically-grown Garnacha is harvested manually, then after destemming, it is fermented spontaneously and aged in used French barrels for half a year, then in tanks. It was bottled one year after the harvest.

Delicately translucent pomegranate colour, aromas of strawberries and green herbs. Due to the granite, slate soil, the overall picture of the palate is warm, mineral, yet thirst-quenching and smooth. It’s a true wine of its landscape, in the noblest sense of the word.
