Comando G “La Bruja” Garnacha 2022

Regular price $56
Regular price $56

A terroir driven red from Comando G, a collective of passionate growers and winemakers in Sierra de Gredos, Spain, committed to restoring old vineyards and making wines that truly express their place. Sourced from old Garnacha vines planted in stony, high altitude soils, the 2022 vintage bursts with wild red and black fruits, aromatic herbs, and subtle earthy notes. The palate is fresh, textured, and lively, with fine tannins, bright acidity, and a mineral tinged finish that captures both the rugged beauty of the Gredos mountains and Comando G’s vineyard first philosophy.

There is a change in the 2022 La Bruja. It is no longer a village wine from Rozas de Puerto Real. In 2022, it is a regional wine, and in 2023, it also will be a regional wine but from Ávila, from the Cebreros appellation, as they are focusing their work there. It's a juicy and aromatic Garnacha, very much in the Comando G style, with good ripeness, 14% alcohol and more in the style of the 2020. It has a medium-bodied palate and a sapid finish with contained ripeness and fine granite granularity. They macerated less to adapt to the vintage, and it partly fermented with less skins. It's a more approachable La Bruja, expressive, open and more fruit-driven, more in a Morgon style. 56,487 bottles produced. It was bottled in August 2023. 94Pts, Drink 2024-2029 - Luis Gutiérrez, The Wine Advocate
