Newcomers on the wine scene since 2020, Bรกrbara Requejo Frutos from Ribera del Duero and Guzmรกn Sรกnchez de la Parra, native of Villanueva de รvila, joined forces to create Las Pedreras Viรฑedos y Vinos. Both bring to the table their winemaking experiences and passion to create single parcel wines in organic, minimal intervention fashion. Their 3.2 hectares of old vine Garnacha are located high up in the mountainous region of Sierra de Gredos west of Madrid. They make limited quantities of 4 wines - two red wines, a rosรฉ and a sparkling rosรฉ.

DOP Cebreros
The grapes sourced from Navatalgordo & Burgohondo villages totaling 0.35ha, are used only for this rosรฉ. 100% 70 year old vine Garnacha at 900m altitude in rocky sandy soil, all impart an incredible elegance to this moorish Rosรฉ. The grapes are fermented in natural yeast and aged for 6 months in used 500L and 225L French barrels, unfined and unfiltered.

Pours into the glass a bright salmon color, Pours into the glass a bright salmon color, liquid sunset in the glass quite frankly. The aromas are intoxicating at first swirl - ripe red berries, blood orange and pink grapefruit, freshly cut white blossoms. This rosรฉ has a striking presence in the palate. A tart acidity that drives home the aromas found on the palate - strawberry juice, raspberry, citrus, peaches and oodles of freshness to a terrific saline finish.
Perfect pairing with charcoal grilled coriander cumin and chili spiced chicken.
