2014 Comando G, Vinos de Madid, Rozas 1er Cru (RT 94) Rozas 1er Cru comes from small plots of Garnacha in the foothills of the mountainous Vinos de Madrid DO of the Sierra de Gredos range. This is a gorgeous example of mountain grown Garnacha from old vines at 900-1200 meters. Fermented with natural yeast in open top vessels, then aged for 12 months in 30-40 hl casks, the result is a high elevation Grenache that sets the bar for transparency in style, both aromatically and gustatorily. The wine is as light and translucent as Grenache gets wafting-up notes of sweet, ripe red raspberry, serious minerality and hints of delicate smoke and burnt underbrush. The mouthfeel is light, elegant and beautifully balanced, with brilliant fresh fruit, wonderful bright acidity and sweet tannin that remains mostly hidden under the fruit. This is a magnificent, trend-setting wine crafted in a style that Comando G is leading the charge on, if you’re looking for a fresh snapshot of what Garnacha can be, look no further! Drink now-2026+
