The Vibe

This is where Comando G begins — your way into one of Spain's true cult addresses. The name winks at the 1980s anime "Comando G," but it's really shorthand for Gredos and Garnacha, the twin obsessions of founders Dani Landi and Fernando García. La Bruja — "the witch," borrowed from an old '80s TV show — is their village-style red: old-vine Garnacha grown on bare granite high in the Sierra de Gredos, made to prove that this grape, long written off as rustic, can be every bit as graceful as great Pinot Noir.

The Taste

Don't let the pale colour fool you — this is high-altitude Garnacha, all perfume and lift rather than weight. Bright, floral, and mountain-fresh, with crunchy red fruit that stays light on its feet. The 2024 is a touch more generous and open than recent vintages, so it's a joy to drink right now, yet there's a fine mineral thread running underneath that means it'll happily reward a few years in the cellar too. For the money, it drinks like a wine from a far more famous postcode.

"It has more fruit and is rounder and juicier than the 2023, but it still delivers very pretty aromas of violets and wild herbs. It has a fine-boned mouthfeel with chalky tannins. It comes in at 14% alcohol, with good freshness and balance."

The Story

Dani Landi and Fernando García are the duo who put Sierra de Gredos on the world's wine map, farming gnarled old bush vines on granite with the kind of single-village care usually reserved for Burgundy. 2024 made them earn it: a spring frost wiped out most of their home crop, so they leaned on old-vine fruit from around the Cebreros side of Gredos for this year's release. The vines average around 60 years and sit close to 1,000 metres on sandy granite. Everything is picked by hand, fermented plot by plot with wild yeasts, and raised in big old oak casks. Only 22,678 bottles were made — when they're gone, they're gone.

Best Enjoyed With

Serve it lightly chilled, around 15°C, with a quick decant. It's a dream alongside roast chicken or lamb, mushroom and grain dishes, jamón and charcuterie, grilled vegetables, or a wedge of hard mountain cheese — a wine that lifts the table rather than dominating it.
