One of the highest vineyards in all of Cebreros, at 1,050 meters, on an unusual soil mix of slate, clay and granite that you rarely find together in Gredos. The name tells you what is there: the dry-stone corral that once fenced the vineyard, and the gargantilla, the ravine dropping down from the Sierra de Gredos. Vines here are over sixty years old, all Garnacha, farmed organically and dry-farmed, fermented with indigenous yeasts and raised in 500-liter foudres, then bottled without fining or filtration. Las Pedreras was founded in 2020 by winemaker Bárbara Requejo — a Ribera del Duero native not yet thirty, with Haut-Brion, Pierre Peters and Peay on her resume — and Gredos-born restaurateur Guzmán Sánchez, and their wines are the ethereal, high-altitude style that has made this region one of Spain's most exciting. Altitude gives this one more tension and mineral drive than the rest of the range.

More about Las Pedreras

Wine cognoscenti have been excited about Spain’s Sierra de Gredos region for a while now. There, you'll find old, old vines, distinctive granite soils, and steep slopes. Pruning, treating, plowing and harvesting all entail backbreaking work; as more and more young people move to the cities, and away from agriculture, the Gredos is almost lost to time.

Of course, not entirely. Some of Spain’s most important winemakers have projects here, from the legendary-in-their-own time Comando G to roving enologist Raúl Perez. In the Gredos, Garnacha becomes something ethereal, almost otherworldly. The poor soils, the high elevation, the ancient vines — these all work together to impart real finesse and elegance to a grape that many have written off as boozy, brash and basic.

One of the most exciting Gredos projects we’ve tasted recently comes from Las Pedreras, a new protect from wunderkind winemaker Bárbara Requejo Frutos and Guzmán Sánchez de la Parra, a Gredos native and restauranteur. Bárbara, a Ribera del Duero native, is young (we’re not sure she’s 30 yet), but her resumé is impressive, with stints at Haut-Brion, Pierre Péters, and Peay under her belt. Here are glowy examples of the many faces Garnacha can show, from pale pink rosé (with or without bubbles) to garnet-red, crisp and aromatic to bold and textured.
