The 60 year old vines used in Las Umbrias, growing at an altitude of 1100 meters in a mere 0.35 hectares of granite and clay soil, was the first wine produced by Comando G in 2008.
Produced in a near identical manner as the 1er Cru, in the words of Dani and Fernando: "Las Umbrias is very Burgundian; an ethereal Garnacha, delicate, fragile, elegant… subtlety in all its splendour.”
The distinct balsamic notes are in perfect balance with the bright fruit, delivering a serious and completely satisfying experience.
Alcohol: 14.5%

Named after the “witch” (La Bruja) from a 1980’s television programme, Comando G’s entry-level wine is made from 100% old vine Garnacha growing at 3000 feet in the remote Sierra de Gredos.
Fermented in wooden vats using native yeasts and a gentle maceration process, the wine is then aged in a 500 litre French oak foudre over five months. The resulting wine is a jovial expression of fresh, perfumed fruit, smoke and tobacco.In the mouth, flavours of blackcurrent, blackberries and red fruit mingle with subtle herbs and spice.

Rumbo al Norte comes from a 0.3 hectare plot of mixed 70-year-old Garnacha vines and boulders on granite and sandstone-infused mountain soils 1200 metres above sea level. The grapes are sourced from the Alto Alberche Valley in the Sierra de Gredos range.
Rumbo al Norte is made using biodynamic winemaking methods and conveys pure elegance, with delicate aromas of pure red fruit, impressive acidity and smooth soft tannins. A fantastic Madrid Garnacha.

Taking its inspiration and name from the best of Burgundy, the Garnacha grapes come from a small 3ha plot, 900 meters above sea level vineyard near the town of Rozas de Puerto Real.
Hand harvested, with a fifty day fermentation in open vats, the 1er Cru is then aged for twelve months in 500L French oak barrels.
With its genesis in the cooler reaches of the Gredos, the 1er Cru nose is intense, yet delicate, with aromas of citrus, dried roses, incense and cedar. This is followed by fresh, succulent juicy red fruit, whose depth is balanced by bright minerality on the palate and firm tannins.

With Garnacha grapes coming from a pre-phylloxera vineyard, almost vertical in its setting, with vines surrounded by oak, chestnut and fig trees, Rey Moro is Comando G’s longest finishing wine.
Showing exuberant red fruit and oozing freshness, this is firm, yet flavourful on the palate, with great length and character.
