Burgundian Grenache + Dynamo Duo = COMANDO G

Viticultores Comando G, Sierra del Gredos

Comando G Viticultores was founded by Daniel Gomez Landi and Fernando Garcia. Daniel and Fernando met in 2005 when studying viticulture and enology at the University of Madrid. They were both involved in different wine projects by then, but as a result of their friendship, philosophy of work and common interest about wine they soon decided to start a project together. Comando G was born in 2008 with the goal to make wines that reflect the place, the landscape and the identity of their vineyards. In other words, their terroir. They decided to make and classify their wines according to the Burgundy system of Village, 1er Cru and Grand Cru wines. 

The vehicles used to achieving this goal were the extremely old Garnacha (Grenache) vineyards common to the high altitude of the Gredos mountains of central Spain. They desired to fashion the wines with Chateau Rayas in mind, arguably the best producer of 100% Grenache based wines in the world.

Their vineyards of this 15 ha Domaine are situated in the most extreme villages of the Sierra de Gredos mountain area. This mountain area is divided to three valleys. The majority of the plots are located around Rozas de Puerto Real village where they make a village wine, La Bruja de Rozas, and a wine from a selection of parcels with a special character, Rozas 1er Cru, and a single vineyard “Grand Cru” wine, Las Umbrias. This is the valley of the river Tietar. In the valley of Alto Alberche they work some very old plots in the village of Navarrevisca, Villanueva del Avila and Navatalgordo. From these plots they make the single vineyard “Grand Cru” wines Rumbo al Norte, Tumba del Rey Moro and El Tamboril.

The vineyards and plots are planted on mountain hillsides at altitude of 900-1200 meters above sea level, sometimes in extreme places very difficult to access, and are plowed by horse and many times just by hand. Vines ages are between 60-90 years and in some cases ungrafted. Farming is organic with biodynamic practices.

The work in the cellar focuses on small lots, open top wooden vats, neutral barrels, and foudres, slow fermentations and delicate extractions (infusions), with minimal intervention. 100% whole clusters are used, followed by slow maceration.

These are sensational, fresh, elegant and pure wines that are meant to reflect the unique terroir they originate from.  Or as we like to say, Burgundian in style.  

With the recent vintage of 2022, we feel they duo has dialed in and refined their style.  In this case they NAILED the 22' vintage.  The entry level wine is the focus of this offer and we challenge you to find a better crafted, nuanced, savory and vinous wine for the price.  This is top-notch.

In January, Cameron had the opportunity to do several verticals of the "Grand Cru" wines from Camando G and he was floored.  Truly eye-opening and undeniable.  Being just as enthused, we have tasted some of the new 22's and WOW, some great stuff here and we can't believe the value from the entry wine of La Bruja, to the 1er Cru wines.
