Mentridà DO Viticola Mentridana (anciennement Daniel Jimenez-Landi) El Mentridano 2022
The wine
This cuvee celebrates Méntrida, the finest appellation in central Spain. It mainly consists of Grenache, the leading grape variety in this Iberian Peninsula region. The berries draw their distinctive personality from the clay-limestone soils, a geological profile that helps retain the the rain that falls in autumn. This typical profile is balanced by a short maceration and juices aged in 3,000 to 3,700 litre barrels for 7 months.
Once bottled, this wine displays a light, accessible style, with notes of red fruit and grass. The Grenache brings depth to the aromas and complements them with structured tannins. Here, the estate has crafted a wine worthy of cellaring for a decade or so which will reveal its full potential. Pair it with a typical local dish, such as cocido madrilena, for a taste of the rich flavours promised by Spanish gastronomy.
Daniel Landi and Fernando Garcia are childhood friends. They decided to crzeate Comando G in 2008 in the mountainous Sierra de Gredos region, not far from Madrid. The went on the search for vineyards planted in the most difficult, remote areas. Garnacha (Grenache) is their grape variety of choice, and their ambition is to make wines which rival the elegance and finesse of a Burgundian Pinot Noir or a Syrah from Hermitage. The 10-hectare domain is entirely biodynamic, and the vines aged 50 to 80 years, planted between 850 and 1,200 metres of altitude on soils of sand, granite, ardoise and quartz. The combination of well-draining soils, high altitude and a clement micro-climate guarantees a long growing season, wines which are not too high in alcohol and extremely refined.
