2022 Comando G Navatalgordo

Three young but already very famous winemakers - Fernando Garcia ( Bodegas Marañones ), Daniel Gómez Jimenez Landi ( Bodegas Jimenez Landi ) and Marc Isart ( Bodegas Bernaveleva ) - are responsible for the Command G. with the aim of further developing the Madrid Region de Grenache grape to develop. All three winemakers make Top Grenaches under their individual labels that can compete with the famous Chateaneuf wines, especially when you consider the price. The area is ideal for the Grenache (high, warm during the day with significant cooling, large limestone soil).

From 2022, Dani and Fer will make these "vinos de pueblo", each from old vines that would otherwise be doomed. The vineyards of Navatalgordo are located at an average altitude of 1100 m, directly opposite the famous Rumbo al Norte vineyard. Navatalgordo's most famous cru is the "Tamboril", also the rarest. This is a 100% Garnacha wine with all the characteristics of its terroir: fresh, elegant and with lower alcohol than the rest of the vinos de pueblo.

The Navatalgordo comes from vieilles vignes Garnacha on granite soils with quartz. Very low yields, all vineyards in biodynamics. The grapes are not destemmed and macerated and fermented with whole bunches. Elevation is done on wooden foudres and cement cuves. In the glass, the Navatalgordo is bright red in the glass. Lots of red fruit on the nose, with red currants, cherries and some wild strawberries. Very nice and pronounced acidity as a backbone in the mouth. Lots of freshness. You can taste that the vineyards are planted at high altitudes. Beautiful, complex finale. It is a wine that needs more time, more Barolo with a chalky character and slow development. It has a very floral and expressive nose, with a powerfully beautiful acidity. Fantastic Burgundy-style style as you can also see at Maranones .
