Sierra de Gredos Comando G Navatalgordo 2022

Comando G Navatalgordo is a red cuvée with a fragrant nose of cherry, blood orange, delicate floral fragrances, thyme and a hint of rose petals. On the palate, it has superb flavours of sweet and tart cherry with hints of cranberry, pomegranate, stoniness and herbs.
Like the heroes of the children’s cartoon series Comando G, who saved Earth from enemy forces, the winery of the same name has preserved fascinating and threatened plots of land in the Sierra de Gredos, elevating this little-known region to the status of Spanish wine Mecca.
From one of the highest winegrowing areas in Gredos, in the village of Navatalgordo, this wine is characterised by its vineyard’s predominantly granitic, clay-free soils. The 60-year-old vines are cultivated in a traditional and respectful way, with the grapes harvested by hand and transported immediately to the cellar. Spontaneous fermentation with natural yeasts and whole bunches comes first, followed by ageing in “foudres” (large wooden tuns) and concrete vats for 10 months. The wine is then bottled without prior clarification or filtration.
