An update from Cebreros

We would like to thank everyone who contacted us to ask about our well-being in Cebreros. We were incredibly lucky to have avoided any significant damage to our property or vineyards, and our thoughts and best wishes are with those who were not so fortunate.

Only one of our vineyards, La Manca, suffered at the hands of the wildfires. Thanks to months of preparation and time spent working the land, we ensured that the ground was well-worked and clear of vegetation, and as such, we experienced very minimal damage.

Whilst other parcels were not affected by the flames directly, the consequences of the fires were far-reaching. With many animals displaced to areas that escaped the flames, vines became some of the freshest and greenest plants available, and the damage caused by both deer, who attacked the leaves, and wild boar, who ate many bunches of grapes, was significant. Indeed, in the parcels La Movida and La Reguera, upon arrival there wasn´t a single grape remaining to harvest.

From the very beginning, our aim with Pegaso has been to produce wines that truly showcase the purity of the different sites within Cebreros. Whilst it cannot be denied that 2026 has been a complicated year, we are thrilled to celebrate yet another successful harvest, collecting 17,500kg of grapes from these exceptional, stubborn vineyards. It is a privilege to produce the wines that Cebreros deserves, and we look forward to continuing to share them with the world.

In future editions of this newsletter and blog we will share videos from Aitor Fernández López, who, alongside Marc Isart, manages Pegaso. Having previously worked as a journalist, (and as a Vineyard Manager in Macán, Vega Sicilia´s Rioja project), few people can better explain the magic of Cebreros. More coming soon!
