2023 Comando G Rozas, Sierra de Gredos, Spain

ABOUT THIS WINE

The 2023 Comando G Rozas comes from a distinct single vineyard in Sierra de Gredos, where old Garnacha vines thrive at cool, elevated sites on predominantly granite and sandy soils. This combination yields fruit with fresh acidity, pure red fruit character, and a pronounced mineral backbone.

On the nose, expect lively aromatics: bright wild strawberry, raspberry leaf, rose petal, and a touch of Mediterranean herbs. The palate is mediumbodied and juicy, with crisp acidity lifting flavors of cranberry, pomegranate, citrus zest, and subtle earth notes. The wines finely grained tannins and mineral tension give it structure and grace, while a saline finish keeps the experience long and refreshing.

Fermentation with native yeasts and aging in large neutral vessels preserve the purity of fruit and site expression. Rozas is approachable young but offers nuance and complexity with short to medium aging. It pairs wonderfully with grilled vegetables, tomatobased dishes, roast chicken, charcuterie, and soft cheeses.

ABOUT THIS PRODUCER

Comando G is a collaborative project founded by vignerons Daniel Landi and Fernando Garca in Sierra de Gredos, dedicated to making Garnacha wines that authentically reflect place, oldvine heritage, and minimal intervention philosophy.

Their vineyards sit at high altitudes on varied rocky soils, where low yields, dry farming, and careful canopy management promote balanced ripeness, bright acidity, and concentrated flavors. In the cellar, Comando G favors native fermentations, gentle handling, and aging in large oak or concrete to let terroir, fruit purity, and texture shine without overt oak influence.

The project has become one of the most respected names for terroirdriven Garnacha in Spain, known for wines that combine freshness, energy, and a compelling sense of place. Rozas exemplifies this philosophy with radiant fruit, mineral clarity, and elegant structure.
