Las Pedreras 'Los Arroyuelos' Garnacha Cebreros 750ml

Product information for Las Pedreras 'Los Arroyuelos' Garnacha Cebreros 750ml

Las Pedreras Vinedos y Vinos is an exciting young project in the Sierra de Gredos, the mountain range and wine region west of Madrid where old-vine, high-altitude Garnacha vines yield the most perfectly-balanced Grenache-based wines in the world. Las Pedreras is a collaboration between Barbara Requejo Frutos, a gifted young winemaker originally from Ribera del Duero, and Guzman Sanchez de la Parra, a native of the stunning mountain village Villanueva de Avila, where his family (bakers by trade) has vineyards and Guzman himself is the chef-owner of the most ambitious restaurant in the region, La Querencia.Los Arroyuelos is the old name of the neighborhood where the Las Pedreras winery is located, an homage to the history of VIllanueva. The wine is 100% Garnacha from seven organically-farmed, 70-year-old vineyards, planted between 900 and 1170 meters altitude on granitic sandy soils in the villages of Villanueva, Navatalgordo, and Burgohondo. Each parcel is fermented separately with native yeasts, some with a few whole clusters, others entirely de-stemmed, then pressed and aged for eight months in used french barrels and stainless steel tanks of various sizes.
