Description
Comando G La Bruja de Rozas 2023 is a pure, elegant Garnacha from the Sierra de Gredos. This wine displays freshness, minerality, and precision, with red fruit and floral notes. Made from old vines on granite, organically farmed, and bottled with minimal intervention. Gentle chilling enhances its finesse and purity.
A modern classic from Gredos
La Bruja de Rozas is the flagship wine of Comando G , founded by Fernando García and Daniel Gómez Jiménez-Landi. Since 2008, they have been reviving forgotten mountain vineyards and demonstrating the refinement of Garnacha: light, energetic, and transparent.
Origin and terroir
The grapes come entirely from Cebreros in the Sierra de Gredos, part of the DO Vinos de Madrid . High-altitude plots (approx. 850–900 m) on poor granite and sandy soils ensure cool nights, slow ripening, and a distinct, stony minerality. The mountain climate preserves freshness and precision.
Grape varieties and vineyard
100% Garnacha (Grenache) from old, low-yielding vines. The plots are scattered among pine trees and granite boulders. The vineyard is organic and largely biodynamic; hand-harvesting and strict selection guarantee pure fruit and local expression.
Vinification and maturation
Partly whole bunches, spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts in open vats and barrels. Then 7–9 months of aging in used, larger oak barrels without new wood. Bottling with minimal intervention to preserve the terroir signature.
Tasting note
Bright ruby red. Aromas of red cherry, raspberry, rose petals, and fine herbs with a stony undertone. Juicy attack, lively acidity, and silky tannins. The finish is long, clean, and elegant; more Burgundian finesse than classic warmth.
Fun facts
- “La Bruja de Rozas” means “the witch of Rozas”.
- 2023 is the first year completely vinified in the new cellar.
- Limited production with also a small number of magnums.
- Cebreros has few hectares; Comando G plays a crucial role in the conservation and development of the region.
Serving tips & wine and food pairing
Serve at 15–16°C and let it sit for 20–30 minutes. Delicious with grilled lamb, poultry, mushroom risotto, roasted vegetables, charcuterie, and soft cheeses.

Drink Date: 2024 - 2032
The regional red 2023 La Bruja is now 100% from Cebreros, no more from Madrid; so, they produced fewer bottles, and there will be even less in 2024 (20,000 bottles). It's like a meatier, juicier version of the 2021 and is less reductive but still stony and fine-boned. It has good ripeness and development of aromas and flavors and is floral, clean, red fruited and herbal, with 14% alcohol and very good freshness and acidity, coming through as balanced and elegant. 40,943 bottles and 500 magnums produced. It was bottled in August 2024.
I tasted wines from 2022 (a more Mediterranean and intense year) and 2023 (a cooler year of elegance, freshness and precision), with a perfect cool September and also rain that improved the quality of the year after a very warm August. 2022 is their last vintage of the El Reventón single-vineyard wine, when they started planting new vines and building their new winery. 2023 is the first year vinified in the brand-new winery. There will be more changes in 2024: continuing the plantation of more vines, downsizing (less regional wine and more village, mostly from purchased grapes) and developing their farm in the estate around Rumbo al Norte. In 2022, they are extending the élevage of the single-vineyard crus Iruelas, Umbrías, Rey Moro and Rumbo al Norte.
And they see the need for new projects in Gredos and to attract people to come and make wine in the region. They see it as a threat for the region. There are only 400 hectares in the DO Cebreros (42 hectares planted in the last five years, nothing in the previous 40), but only 150 produced grapes last year. The Gredos region needs to be developed.

Comando G Sierra de Gredos La Bruja 2023
Monday, Sep 30, 2024
Color: Red
Country: Spain
Region: Castilla y León
Vintage: 2023
Grilled grapefruit, with a smoked herb touch to the ethereal red fruit and iron notes. Firm and medium-bodied with fine, chalky tannins, herbs and red berry fruit without much flesh. This is super drinkable. Enjoy now.

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 intention to further the Madrid Regio de Grenache grape to develop. All three winemakers make top grenaches under their individual label 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, substantial lime soil). Their vines are rooted in mainly granite soil vineyards at an altitude of at least 800 meters and are between 50 and 80 years old. Comando G was the name
in Spain for one of those Japanese cartoon series of the 80s. Daniel Landi and his friends have used this and Comando G stands for Comado Grenache where their mission is to make the best Grenache in the world. This is one of the most exciting new projects in Spain!
