Telmo Rodriguez - Pegaso - Zeta 2023
The Pegaso project, led by Telmo Rodríguez in the Sierra de Gredos, has become in a few years an essential reference for lovers of great Spanish terroir wines. Through this project, Telmo Rodríguez strives to reveal the purest expression of mountain Garnacha, from old vines planted at high altitude in the Cebreros area, northwest of Madrid. The estate stands out for a respectful approach to the soil, very low yields, and a constant pursuit of finesse and freshness, against the trend of overly sunny styles. Pegaso embodies an elegant, taut, and deeply mineral vision of Garnacha. The cuvée Zeta is one of its most accessible and readable expressions.
Pegaso – Zeta 2023 is made from Garnacha coming from vines planted on predominantly granitic soils, typical of the Sierra de Gredos. The 2023 vintage highlights just the right maturity, allowing the wine to retain beautiful freshness despite the Mediterranean character of the grape variety. The vinification favors delicacy and transparency, with gentle extractions to preserve the brightness of the fruit and the identity of the terroir. The aging is conducted with restraint, in a spirit of support, to let the Garnacha express itself freely. Zeta positions itself as a terroir cuvée, sincere and precise, offering a direct and elegant reading of the Pegaso style.
On the palate, Pegaso Zeta 2023 charms with its balance and drinkability. The nose opens with aromas of fresh red fruits, strawberry and cherry, complemented by floral notes and a delicate spicy touch. The mouth is supple, fluid, and energetic, supported by fine tannins and marked freshness that stretches the wine without heaviness. The whole is harmonious, elegant, and very digestible, with a clean and slightly mineral finish. This wine pairs perfectly with Mediterranean cuisine, grilled meats, vegetarian dishes, or shared meals. A great modern Garnacha wine, precise and vibrant, signed by one of Spain's most influential winemakers.
