2023 Comando G 'Rozas' Tinto Grenache
Although classed as Comando G’s village wine, Rozas captures everything this cult producer does so well. The fruit comes from five high-altitude sites around Rozas de Puerto Real in the Sierra de Gredos, planted on poor granite soils at around 900 metres. On the palate, racy, bright red berries, pomegranate and strawberry. Chalky texture and Comando G's signature mineral backbone. The wine is fresh and poised, with an effortlessness comparable to great Burgundy.
Comando G, led by Fernando García and Dani Landi, has quickly become one of the most influential wineries in Spain. Working from their base in Rozas del Puerto Real, they set out to elevate the Sierra de Gredos - a rugged, historic wine region that had largely slipped from view - by focusing on old vineyards, high altitude and granitic soils. Their Garnacha, grown mostly above 900 metres, is farmed biodynamically and shaped by a philosophy that favours terroir about all else. In doing so, García and Landi have helped redefine Garnacha from a rustic variety into something capable of real finesse and depth, earning Comando G a place among the world's most acclaimed and closely-followed producers.
