Product Details
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. It was bottled in June 2024. Drink date: 2025-2034.
