2023 Comando G “Villanueva”, Sierra de Gredos, Spain
ABOUT THIS WINE
The 2023 Comando G “Villanueva” showcases the pure essence of Garnacha grown in the high‑altitude vineyards of Sierra de Gredos, west of Madrid. These old‑vine parcels (often dry‑farmed at elevations around 700–900 m) yield naturally concentrated, perfumed fruit with vibrant acidity and earth‑derived minerality.
On the nose, expect aromatic layers of bright red berries—wild strawberry, cranberry, and pomegranate—intertwined with hints of rosemary, rose petal, and dusty earth. The palate is medium‑bodied, fresh, and finely structured, where precise acidity animates juicy fruit while subtle tannins add texture without weight. Mineral tension and a clean, persistent finish make this wine exceptionally food‑friendly.
Vinification is respectful and minimal: native yeasts, gentle extraction, and careful oak use (often neutral barrels) preserve freshness and terroir expression rather than impose oak character.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
Comando G is a collaborative project founded by a group of Spanish winegrowers and friends united by a passion for old vines and authentic, site‑driven expressions of Garnacha in Sierra de Gredos. Their philosophy centers on respectful viticulture—dry farming, low yields, and biodiversity—combined with minimalist cellar work that lets purity and terroir speak.
They work with small plots scattered across high‑altitude granite and slate soils, celebrating the diversity of microclimates and clones inherent to the region. Comando G has become a benchmark for fresh, energetic Garnacha that reflects the cool mountain climate and rugged landscape of Gredos. Their wines attract attention for clarity of fruit, compelling acidity, and seamless balance, appealing to both traditional enthusiasts and the modern natural wine community.
