2023 Comando G 'Rozas' Garnacha

Place: Sierra de Gredos, Spain

Variety: Garnacha (Grenache)

Farming: Organic

Comando G is the project of Fernando García and Dani Landi, two winemakers who have helped redefine Garnacha in the Sierra de Gredos. Working with old vines at extreme altitude and a thoughtful, low-intervention approach, their wines are defined by perfume, freshness and the distinctive mineral character of the region’s granitic soils.

Rozas comes from old-vine Garnacha around the village of Rozas de Puerto Real. Wild strawberry, raspberry and red cherry are layered with violets, mountain herbs, blood orange and a distinctly ferrous, earthy minerality. The palate is light on its feet yet beautifully structured, with fine tannins and vibrant acidity carrying the wine through a long, savoury finish. Fragrant, mineral and quietly complex, it’s a wonderfully pure expression of high-altitude Garnacha.
