Elevate your wine experience with the Comando G Rozas 1er Cru 2018, a Grenache that has garnered critical acclaim, including 96 points from James Suckling and 95 points from Wine Advocate. This wine is a testament to the exceptional quality and craftsmanship that Comando G is renowned for.

Crafted from 5 hectares of Garnacha vines near Rozas de Puerto Real, this wine offers a unique expression of mountain Grenache. It boasts a deeper minerality and slightly firmer tannins compared to its sibling, La Bruja, earning it a Burgundian-inspired name. The palate is greeted with dried strawberries and cherries, complemented by subtle notes of bark, pine needles, black tea leaf, and lavender. The full-bodied structure is balanced by fine-grained, chewy tannins and a hint of black pepper, making it a complex and intriguing choice.

This wine is best enjoyed after 2022, as it needs time to fully open and reveal its true potential. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or a casual enthusiast, the Rozas 1er Cru 2018 is a must-have addition to your cellar. Its expressive, floral, and open profile, combined with a beautifully textured granite fingerprint, sets it apart from other Spanish Grenaches.
