Comando G, Las Iruelas, 2023
Comando G are the duo who convinced the wine world that Garnacha could be delicate, and Las Iruelas is where they push that idea furthest. This is a single site of roughly 60-year-old vines perched around 1,000 meters in the Sierra de Gredos, west of Madrid, and unusually for the range it carries slate and schist in the soil rather than pure granite, which gives the wine an extra layer of tension. Fernando Garcia and Daniel Gomez Jimenez-Landi farm it organically and biodynamically, work it by hand and horse, ferment with whole clusters and native yeasts, and age in large neutral vessels so nothing gets in the way of the site. This is old-vine Garnacha built for finesse, not power: pale, perfumed, and lifted. Give it a little air, or lay it down; it will reward patience.
