2025 Las Pedreras “Arquitón” Rosado Sierra de Gredos, Spain
$34.00
Arquitón Rosé is an homage to Los Arquitones, the neighborhood where Guzman’s family is from, a hike outside of modern-day Villanueva into the Sierra. There are no vineyards nowadays in Los Arquitones, but Barbara and Guzman found the perfect parcels of 70-year-old, head-trained Garnacha for their rosé - two vineyards totalling 0.35ha, planted on granitic sandy soils at 900m altitude in the villages of Navatalgordo and Burgohondo. Las Pedreras takes rosé very seriously, combining a precise, minimal aesthetic with lots of complexity and texture on the palate. Grapes were harvested in early September, destemmed, pressed directly, fermented in barrel with native yeasts, then aged for 6 months in used 500L and 225L french barrels. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.
