Sierra de Gredos, Spain
Comments
Comando G is the project of two dynamic winemakers, Daniel Landi and Fernando Garcia. It is one of the most exciting wine stories of recent years, one of the most important representatives of the new wave in Spain, and some of the most unusual and simply the best interpretations of the garnacha varietal anywhere in the world.
Daniel and Fernando found and restored old, forgotten and scattered vineyards in the Sierra de Gredos region with old vines growing on rocky, granite soils. A few years of work was enough for the whole world to hear about them.
They use Burgundian farming and vinification methods in their work, and the way they position their wines is also Burgundian. DLatego we are dealing with village, 1er and grand cru level wines. Each wine reflects the character of the terroir from which it comes. The vines are naturally managed, fermentation is spontaneous and winemaking is as low intervention as possible.
Rumbo al Norte is the Grand Crudoliny of Alto Alberche in Gredos. It's a tiny crop, just 0.3 hectares. The 2020 vintage of this wine rubs against perfection: a rich bouquet, a concentrated but energetic body and a virtually endless bouquet of red forest fruits, earth, rocks, smoke and spice. One of Spain's most desirable wines, and for a very good reason.
