This project – and their 2024 old-vine Garnacha – does exactly that with so much finesse, you’ll think you’re under a spell when you try it. No wonder this wine is named \u003cem\u003e“La Bruja”\u003c\/em\u003e (\u003cem\u003e“The Witch”\u003c\/em\u003e)... you’ll be splendidly entranced! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComando G is the shared vision of winemaking friends Fernando García and Daniel Gómez Jiménez-Landi. Since 2008, they’ve been coaxing overlooked mountain vineyards back to life to prove just how ethereal Garnacha can be. The \u003cem\u003e\"G\"\u003c\/em\u003e stands for Garnacha, and their work has been central to redefining both the grape and the reputation of the high-altitude Sierra de Gredos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"La Bruja de Rozas\"\u003c\/em\u003e – \u003cem\u003e\"the Witch of Rozas\"\u003c\/em\u003e – is their village-level wine and calling card, nodding to the eerie light and near-perpetually grey skies of the town of Rozas del Puerto Real. The 2024 is made from 100% old-vine Garnacha grown in decomposed granite and sandy soils at roughly 850 to 900 meters elevation, where cool nights and slow ripening lock in freshness and a stony elegance. Farmed organically and largely biodynamically, hand-harvested, and fermented plot by plot with wild yeasts before a gentle élevage in large oak, the 2024 is the first vintage fully vinified in the estate's new cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis friendly Witch casts a pale, luminous spell of wild strawberries, red cherries, and pomegranate laced with rose petals, crushed violets, and a bundle of scrubby Mediterranean herbs that grow between the pine trees and granite boulders. The palate is light as a feather yet vividly alive, like a mountain stream running over stone, offering silky tannins and crackling acidity with a gravelly, drawn-out, almost wild finish. This is hauntingly beautiful, energetic, transparent, and irresistibly sippable here and now, and just a stunning show of what mountain-grown Spanish Garnacha is capable of achieving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerfect find for spooky season, too, I must admit! Grab a few for all your pumpkin, squash, and mushroom fare to come very, very soon!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFOOD PAIRINGS: I literally count the days until the air is crisp enough to pour a light, pretty red and dive face-first into butternut squash heaven. This wine would be so beyond good with a flaky butternut squash empanada, I can’t even handle it!\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"First Bottle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53482566943017,"sku":"2000344","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0793\/2706\/8457\/files\/ComandoGGarnachaLaBrujadeRozasSierradeGredos2024_2000344_FB_Rack.jpg?v=1789160368","url":"https:\/\/firstbottlewines.com\/products\/comando-g-garnacha-la-bruja-de-rozas-sierra-de-gredos-2024","provider":"First Bottle Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
