They had to source new vineyards for the 2024 La Bruja, one from El Tiemblo, as the main vineyard delivered only 9,000 kilos of grapes because of the frost (it can produce up to 30,000 kilos in a normal year). So, this is a regional Gredos red from the Cebreros part. It has more fruit and is rounder and juicier than the 2023, but it still delivers very pretty aromas of violets and wild herbs. It has a fine-boned mouthfeel with chalky tannins. It comes in at 14% alcohol, with good freshness and balance. (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.
