Wine Advocate
Review Date: 12/2025The village red 2024 Navatalgordo comes from 2.5 hectares in different plots in the village, where the soils are very stony and have a lot of quartz. There are some new vineyards; they managed to buy some and some belong to growers, though some of those are worked by the Comando team. 2024 was warmer than 2023 but with more finesse than 2022. It was marked by the frost the 23rd of April, a night with a full moon and lots of humidity because it had rained a lot, and they lost 60% of the grapes. The remaining grapes were picked at the right time, despite the dynamics of the harvest, when the nights were quite warm. They finished harvesting earlier and managed to keep the alcohol levels under control. Most of the 2024s come in at 14% alcohol but keep the poise and balance. The wine is quite primary, and there's a little more concentration and a gentler profile. It has abundant, slightly more Italian tannins, with slightly grainier chalk, and it's a little more rustic, very much marked by the soil with a low pH. This is the village wine to keep for a while. 5,246 bottles produced. It was bottled in August 2025. (LG)

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.
