Daniel Jimenez Landi is already one of the most renowned winemakers in Spain. His wines receive an overload of prizes and awards and a large part of his success is due to his passion for making only quality. After leading the Jiménez Landi winery, Daniel Jimenez Landi decided in 2012 to start a new adventure, but this time alone.

The Las Uvas de la Ira is produced from three plots of old Grenache/Garnacha vines located on a granite plateau in the village of El Real de San Vicent. The wine is aged in oak barrels for 10 months. This beautiful Grenache is full of red fruits, flowers, balsamic, herbs. The taste is medium-bodied and especially complex with lots of acids and purity. The advice is definitely to decant this wine or at least open it an hour in advance. Daniel is also (co) owner of Comando G, which is currently doing very well.

The Sierra de Gredos is an area of rugged granite peaks, forests and hilltop towns southwest of Madrid. The combination of high altitude, free draining granitic soils, and a long growing season gives it a unique micro-climate. Vines cling to scree-slopes like mountain goats, many of these sites were abandoned decades ago, but a new generation of growers is rediscovering them.

Dani Landi was one of the pioneers working with the old vines here, making elegant, mineral wines, that are redefining what was previously viewed as a workhorse variety into something that can rival the elegance and finesse of some of the world’s most sought after reds. Curro Barreño, one half of brilliant Ribeira Sacra project Fedellos, also grew up in this area. He’s a childhood friend of Dani, sharing many bottles together and winemaking influences. Since 2021 Curro has taken over responsibility for Dani’s vineyards in Méntrida, and is making wines under the Vitícola Mentridana label. Curro’s building on Dani’s meticulous foundations, interpreting the vineyards, and working with a light touch in the winery. Curro is happy to have come home to make wine in the area where he grew up, and to see the evolution of wines in the area which are becoming modern classics, graceful wines we love to drink.
