Cebreros is a stopover, a place that separates north from south, where both the Via Imperial and the Cañada Real pass through. It was once a centre of glass production and during the 19th century viticulture became very important.
Inspired by memories of old Garnacha vines, first seen as a child whilst exploring the ancient shepherds’ trails with his father, in 1999, we purchased our first vineyard, Arrebatacapas, in Sierra de Gredos, located in the village of Cebreros. We were struck by the stunning view, and of the landscape graced with Garnacha vines. This extraordinary vineyard was growing wild, without a winemaker, oenologist or engineer: it was an orphan.
And so, in 1999 our adventure began.
First we recovered the slope of Arrebatacapas, the most important slate landscape in all of Gredos. We worked the vines and ultimately produced Pegaso Barrancos de Pizarra. A short while later we discovered other plots with equally interesting, granite-laced soil.
We were working in a category that didn’t yet exist, working to produce an ambitious wine to ensure the survival of these stubborn vines. It has not been easy, but we have succeeded. Today, Cebreros is an international category and our Barrancos de Pizarra and Granito are the purest expression of this extreme and distinctive place.
