2020 Comando G La Bruja de Rozas Garnacha

Comando G is the joint project of Fernando Garcia, of Marañones, and Daniel Landi, of his eponymous label. Based in the town of Rozas del Puerto Real, high in the Sierra de Gredos, the Comando G team produce some of the most celebrated and sought-after wines in Spain. The combination of poor granitic soils, old vine Garnacha, high rainfall and extreme altitude results in ethereally light, delicate wines that show the effortless structure, precision and poise that is usually associated with high-end Burgundy.

The first red to be bottled and sold is the 2020 La Bruja de Rozas, which feels a little more reductive this year. The grapes were picked before the torrential rains, so the wine shows a little riper than the wines that were picked after (the single vineyards). It's flinty and with a note of struck match, with good ripeness at 14.5% alcohol. This is always aromatic and floral, pale and surprisingly ethereal and expressive, a very pleasant and surprising wine that tends to please most people. This is the wine that I buy in volume, as it's a superb introduction to the Comando G portfolio and style at a very good price. Even though the nose is never short of spectacular, to me the signature here is the super fine grainy tannins from the decomposed granite soils. This goes back to the freshness of 2016 and 2018, perhaps a little rounder and less herbal, somewhere in between the two vintages. 43,175 bottles were filled in late August and early September 2021. Drink 2022 - 2028.

Dani Landi and Fernando García have done more than anyone to transform the fortunes of central Spain’s Sierra de Gredos, investing so much of their energy into its abandoned and semi-abandoned old vineyard plots. It’s thanks to them that we have witnessed the stratospheric rise of Pinot-esque Gredos Garnacha. Drink 2022 - 2028.
