Comando G Mataborricos Tinto 2020

Comando G Mataborricos Tinto, biodynamic wine, Gredos mountains, mainlt Grenache (Garnacha) with a little Carignan, (Carinena). This wine is matured for approx 12 months in a variety of amphorae and results in a bright garnet-red in colour with aromas of plum, liquorice and juniper. A fresh lively palate delights and the sheer drinkability and ease of these atypical Grenache wines from the magnificent Gredos mountains shines through.

Bodega Comando G is made up of Fernando García and Daniel Gómez Jiménez-Landi. They met in 2005 while at university where they forged their friendship based on a mutual passion: making first-rate Garnacha wines, which capture and express the terroir of the unique plots where the grapes are grown. In 2008, they launched their first company and started searching for old-vine vineyards planted with the Garnacha grape variety in the Sierra de Gredos, located between the provinces of Madrid and Ávila. There are three hectares of old Garnacha vines spread out among the villages of Cadalso de los Vidrios and Rozas de Puerto Real, near the Sierra de Gredos mountains, on granite soil and at an altitude of between 900 and 1,000 metres. An incredible and extreme environment for grape growing. Garnacha in this form, pale, fresh and mineral, is Spain’s great red grape and bears a resemblance to Pinot Noir. Fernando Garcia is quoted as saying: “The three of us have a certain weakness for Burgundy Pinot Noir and we are convinced that our Garnachas can produce equally elegant wines as long as you look after the grapes and harvest early”.

Production is naturally....'natural' and the wines are elaborated without being covered in oak and the they sing with berry fruits and fresh air, they are absolutely delightful.
