Tucked away amongst rugged peaks of the Sierra de Gredos, just a short trip from Madrid, Daniel Landi & Fernando Garcia have been quietly crafting some of Spain's best wines since 2008 under the name Comando G. At this point, the secret is out, but production remains minuscule.

From the beginning, the duo has adopted a Burgundian philosophy regarding their wine production style, and La Breña is considered a premier cru wine. The vineyard is a mere half-hectare of 60-year-old vines within the Villanueva de Ávila. Fermented whole-cluster with natural yeast in a neutral oak vat, followed by ten months of aging in 1200L French foudres. This is an excellent bottle to truly experience the magic of Comando G, from the great 2022 vintage, and with just a touch of age on it now. Expect purity of fruit balanced by stony mineral cleanliness but maxed out with wild expression of the high elevation mountain terroir.
