Comando G, Las Rozas 1er 2021

Harvest is performed by hand. It ferments with local yeasts in French oak vats, with soft macerations, whole grapes and their stems, avoiding aggressive processes. Maceration takes approximately 60 days. This wine is aged for 12 months in 500-litre French oak barrels.

Daniel Landi and Fernando Garcia, friends since college, found themselves working in the area bounded by the Sierra de Gredos: Dani at his family’s estate, Bodegas Jimenez-Landi and Fernando at Bodega Marañones. 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 many of the new innovators in the Priorat, Dani 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 Hermitage.
