Pegaso

Based in the Sierra de Gredos, Pegaso was founded through a collaboration between Rioja-born winemaker Telmo Rodríguez, his long-time partner Pablo Eguzkiza, and Carlos Sainz Sr, the two-time world rally champion. The winery takes its name from Pegaso, an iconic Spanish sports car brand of the 1940s, chosen as a symbol of heritage, elegance, and timeless design.

Located west of Madrid across the provinces of Ávila, Madrid, and Toledo, Sierra de Gredos is a rugged mountain region defined by granite-rich soils and a wealth of old-vine Garnacha. While exploring overlooked wine regions in the 1990s, Telmo and Pablo were struck by the potential of these neglected vineyards, which Telmo famously described as “an orphan.” In 1999, the trio acquired their first vineyard, Arrebatacapas, in Cebreros, notable for its rare red slate soils. By 2005, they had restored a 19th-century property to serve as the Pegaso winery. Today, organically farmed vineyards and minimal-intervention winemaking define Pegaso’s refined, site-driven wines.
