The regional red 2023 La Bruja is now 100% from Cebreros, no more from Madrid; so, they produced fewer bottles, and there will be even less in 2024 (20,000 bottles). It's like a meatier, juicier version of the 2021 and is less reductive but still stony and fine-boned. It has good ripeness and development of aromas and flavors and is floral, clean, red fruited and herbal, with 14% alcohol and very good freshness and acidity, coming through as balanced and elegant.

Grilled grapefruit, with a smoked herb touch to the ethereal red fruit and iron notes. Firm and medium-bodied with fine, chalky tannins, herbs and red berry fruit without much flesh. This is super drinkable. Enjoy now. (ZS)

With a growing cultlike following, Comando G is one of the most exciting up-and-coming wine producers in Spain. Their singular focus is on Garnacha from the Sierra de Gredos region, a rugged area not far from Madrid. Long known for simple, inexpensive country wines, the region has been transformed by the rediscovery of high-altitude vineyards forgotten by most. These old Garnacha vines revealed a surprising character: pale in color yet intensely expressive, with taut, red-fruited energy and striking minerality rather than the variety’s typical lush power. The “La Bruja de Rozas” is made from 100% Garnacha from the Rozas village and serves as an introduction to their winery. Showing classic Garnacha red fruit notes of cherry and strawberry, the wine is defined by an undercurrent of crushed black pepper, licorice and scrubby underbrush. Finely tuned tannins add balance, keeping the wild aromatics in check. The goal of founders Dani Landi and Fernando Garcia is to elevate Spanish Garnacha to the same ranks as Syrah from the Northern Rhône or Pinot Noir from Burgundy, and it’s clear they’re well on their way to attaining this goal. Considering that the top wines of Comando G – nearly impossible to secure – now fetch hundreds of dollars, this is a stunning value from one of the fastest rising stars in Spain.

The first sips of 2023 Comando G "La Bruja de Rozas" is like sinking your teeth into a fresh juicy, red-fleshed plum followed by notes of cherry hard candies, sassafras, fresh rosemary, cedar shavings, and crushed rock. It’s spellbinding so proceed with caution because it’s easy to get lost and before you know it, you’ve drunk most of the bottle and turned into a newt.

Notes

Located just outside Madrid, the Sierra de Gredos mountains are currently experiencing a wine revolution. At the forefront of this renaissance are childhood friends Daniel Landi and Fernando Garcia. After training in enology, they founded Comando G in 2008. Their vision was clear: to elevate Garnacha by cultivating high-altitude, old-vine parcels. The vineyards, planted on granite, slate, and quartz-rich soils, benefit from a long growing season and naturally low alcohol levels. Winemaking is minimal intervention, with spontaneous fermentations and aging in neutral vessels such as concrete, large oak, and amphorae. Traditionally known for simple, inexpensive wines, the region has undergone a dramatic transformation through the rediscovery of these high-altitude Garnacha vineyards. These nearly forgotten plots produce wines of unexpected finesse, marked by pale color, vibrant red fruit, and striking minerality—more reminiscent of Burgundy Pinot Noir or northern Rhône Syrah than traditional Spanish Garnacha. Comando G's growth has been shaped by the unique character of each vineyard, with standout sites like Tumba del Rey Moro, Las Iruelas, and Rumbo al Norte quickly recognized as Grand Crus. The project now centers around four villages in DO Cebreros—Rozas, Navatalgordo, Villanueva, and El Tiemblo—each producing both village-level and site-specific wines. Regardless of tier, every bottle reflects a singular expression of Garnacha.
