La Breña is the newest addition to Comando G’s portfolio. A single vineyard wine situated next to the famed Rumbo Al Norte, located at altitude of 1,100 meters on a single plot of 0.3 ha in the Alto Alberche valley of the Gredos mountains, with granite & sandstone soil with shallow depth. The average age of these 100% Grenache vines is 40 years old. A slo macerstion for 50 days and a wild fermentation in open vats followed by ageing for 12 months in 500L French oak barrels. Already a brilliant wine but lets see how this parcel develops further,

Notes on the Producer

Comando G Viticultores was founded by Daniel Gómez Landi and Fernando Garcia. Daniel and Fernando met in 2005 when studying viticulture and enology at the University of Madrid. They were both involved in different wine projects by then, but as a result of their friendship, philosophy of work and common interest about wine they soon decided to start a project together. “Comando G was born in 2008 with the goal to make wines that reflect the place, the landscape and the identity of our vineyards”. In other words – “Terroir”. They decided to make and classify their wines according to the Burgundy system of Village, 1er Cru and Grand Cru wines. And the sole reason to defy this status is the vineyard.

The vehicles used to achieving this goal were the extremely old Garnacha (Granache) vineyards common to the high altitude of the Gredos mountains of central Spain. And the “role model” they choose – Chateau Rayas, arguably the best producer of 100% Granache based wines in the world.

The work in the cellar is traditional and handcrafted with minimal intervention. 100% whole clusters are used, followed by slow maceration, fermentation in open oak vats and elevage in various size used oak barrels, demi-muids and foudres.
