The 2020 Pegaso Zeta was produced with old-vine Garnacha on granite and schist soils from a healthy vintage that was picked early, starting the 27th of August. It fermented with indigenous yeasts in oak and stainless steel vats and amphorae, and it matured in a combination of 500- and 600-liter barrels, amphorae and stainless steel vats for 12 months. It's a very harmonious vintage, expressive with bright red fruit and an herbal touch. The palate is seamless, rich but fresh, with pungent flavors and abundant, fine-grained tannins. 14,696 bottles were filled in August 2021.
Product Description:
After a manual harvest, the wine is fermented with native yeasts in large, used open-top 5000L foudres and then aged six months in 500L French oak barrels of various origins and ages. It then spends a further six months in stainless steel tanks before it is fined traditionally with egg whites and bottled unfiltered.
