Las Rozas, Comando G
Comando G
Bodega Comando G is made up of Fernando García, Daniel Gómez Jiménez-Landi and Marc Isart. They met in 2005 while at university where they forged their friendship based on a mutual passion: making first-rate Garnacha wines, which capture and express the terroir of the unique plots where the grapes are grown. Three years later, in 2008, they launched the Comando G (G for Garnacha) business venture. Although there are some who affectionately call them the ‘enochalados’ (‘crazy oenologists’), in reality, this ‘online cooperative bodega’ (as described by El Mundo Vino) is carrying out the very serious task of searching for old-vine vineyards planted with the Garnacha grape variety in the Sierra de Gredos, between the provinces of Madrid and Ávila.
Las Rozas is a village level Garnacha sourced from a selection of old vine parcels around Rozas de Puerto Real, one of the highest and coolest zones of the Sierra de Gredos. The vineyards sit between approximately 850 and 950 metres above sea level on decomposed granite and quartz rich soils, where poor fertility and a continental mountain climate naturally limit yields and preserve acidity. The vines are predominantly old bush trained Garnacha, many planted several decades ago, contributing aromatic intensity and a fine but delicate tannic structure. Fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts and a proportion of whole clusters, enhancing perfume and texture while maintaining freshness. Ageing is carried out in large oak foudres and concrete tanks to preserve clarity and site expression. The wine shows lifted aromas of wild strawberry, raspberry and red cherry alongside rose petals, white pepper, garrigue herbs and crushed granite. The palate is supple and energetic, with fine tannins, bright acidity and a mineral, lightly saline finish that captures the altitude and granitic soils of Rozas de Puerto Real.
