This high-altitude Garnacha is lifted and mineral-driven, showing wild strawberry, white pepper, and crushed stone. Elegant and transparent, it’s a defining wine of the Gredos movement.
About The Producer
Daniel Landi and Fernando Garcia, friends since college, found themselves working in the area centered around the Sierra de Gredos: Daniel at his family's estate, Bodegas Jimenez-Landi and Fernando at Bodega Maranones. Drawn to the mountains and rumors of small, nearly inaccessible vineyard plots located high in the Sierra de Gredos, over time they began purchasing and leasing the best sites they could find, creating their own project, Comando G in 2008. Along with the pioneers of the Priorat, Daniel and Fernando are redefining what was previously viewed as a workhorse variety, Garnacha, into something that can rival the elegance and finesse of Pinot in Burgundy or Syrah in the northern Rhone. The vineyards that Daniel and Fernando have assembled are all farmed biodynamically. These vines all range in age from 50 to 80 years old and are planted on sandy soils weathered from granite, slate and quartz. The resultant wines are startlingly pale, extraordinarily aromatic and intensely flavorful.
