Comando G 'Rozas Tinto', Mentrida, Spain 2022

£46.00

Sourced from Garnacha vineyards in the foothills of the Gredos Mountains at 900m above sea level. As with all the Comando G reds, the wine undergoes a lengthy maceration and whole cluster ferment in open top followed by 10 months maturation in a concrete and large oak vats. The colour is fabulous – like pomegranate juice. A fragrant nose with notes of cherry, blood orange, delicate floral fragrances, thyme and a hint of rose petal. On the palate it feels shiny, like cherry skins, softened by orange blossom and finishing with razor-sharp precision. 14.5% alc. Organic & biodynamic farming. Drink now-2034.


Press reviews:

The Wine Advocate: “The Rozas 1er Cru has a slight change in 2022 and turned into a village wine, the 2022 Rozas. They selected the best five vineyards that used to go to the Rozas 1er Cru, vineyards they have worked since 2012. In this warmer vintage, they did a softer vinification, with less maceration and more fermentation without skins, to avoid over-ripeness and notes of black fruit in the wine. It has more fruit and some silty tannins, which are more like Italian tannins in the more Mediterranean years like this 2022. This village is more subject to the changes in the years, with more herbal and ethereal notes in the wines in cooler years and juicier and with more marked tannins in the warmer ones. It has 14.5% alcohol and is more jovial, definitely not banal. Drink now-2032.” 95 points
