2023 Comando G Allocation Offer
May 05, 2026
We are over the moon to have received the beautiful 2023 vintages of one of the most collectable wines in the world. These are unicorn wines and we feel quite lucky & excited to get the whole range for the first time. Tiny allocations as you may expect, especially after we have taken what we want.. if you dont know these wines, here is some info on what is a truly inspiring project that has redefined Garnacha.
In the early days of their Comando G project, Daniel Gómez Jiménez-Landi and Fernando García made a yearly trip to Châteauneuf-du-Pape. They would sleep in a van in the fields beside Château Rayas, wandering the vineyards and reflecting on the wines produced there — regarded as some of the world’s greatest expressions of Grenache. By the time they were finally welcomed into the cellar, Comando G had already emerged as one of Spain’s most exciting new-wave wine projects, helping to spark a Garnacha revival and build a devoted, ever-growing following.
Comando G’s vineyards lie in the Gredos Mountains, to the west of Madrid. Here, old, largely abandoned bush vines grow among fig and olive trees at high altitude. Dramatic shifts between warm days and cool nights allow the grapes to ripen slowly, producing fruit that is both intense and beautifully balanced — an ideal setting for two winemakers inspired by Château Rayas. The vineyards are farmed biodynamically, and fermentations take place with wild yeasts in open-top casks. The wines are structured along Burgundian lines, beginning with ‘village’ bottlings and progressing to distinctive single-vineyard cuvées that express their individual sites.
Both powerful and remarkably delicate, Comando G’s Garnachas possess an elegance often compared to top Pinot Noir. In just a few short years, they have risen to the highest ranks of Spanish wine.
Vintage Reflections from Dani Landi
“2023 is a vintage with the character and energy of one who survives a great drought. Watered with blows of water and worry, but with a wonderful last month. The cold of September always makes good wines. It is a vintage where the juice flows deliciously, light and finely again. A vintage that exceeds expectations, full of emotion and grapes that seem to want to levitate even the shared stars’.
The Wines!
Village Wines
2023 Rozas Tinto – £50 per bottle
From four biodynamically farmed plots in Rozas de Puerto Real (DO Madrid). At 900m altitude, these 90+ year-old vines yield the richest of the village wines — ripe, sweet fruit laced with exotic spice and Mediterranean herbs.
-
2023 Navatalgordo – £50 per bottle
From Navatalgordo in DOP Cebreros (Valle del Alto Alberche) at 1,100m altitude. 60-year-old vines rooted in quartz-rich granite soils give a wine of tension, minerality, and precision — a pure expression of high-mountain Garnacha.
-
2024 Villanueva – £50 per bottle
From three plots (La Cañada, Las Herguijuela, El Robledillo) in Villanueva de Ávila, 1,000m above sea level. The smallest of the village cuvées (just 2,700 bottles), fermented gently and aged 10 months in foudres and demijohns. Graceful, lifted and bright.

2023 Las Rozas 1er – £74 per bottle
From high-altitude vineyards (900m) on sandy granite soils. Fermented whole-cluster and aged 10 months in concrete and large oak vats. Fragrant and saline, with cherry, blood orange, rose petals, and thyme — elegant and precise.
-
2023 Las Breña 1er – £105 per bottle
A 0.3ha biodynamic vineyard at 1,100m in the Alto Alberche valley. Long, cool ripening brings aromatic depth — Mediterranean herbs, spice, and a cool granitic edge. A wine of elegance and altitude.
-
2023 Peña la Mora 1er – £105 per bottle
From Navatalgordo (Cebreros), planted 75 years ago on sandy, quartz-laced granite. Fermented with indigenous yeasts and whole bunches, then aged 16 months in large oak and concrete. Fresh, mineral, and beautifully transparent.

2023 Las Umbrías – £200 per bottle
The first Comando G vineyard (since 2008). A 0.5ha east-facing plot at 995m near Rozas del Puerto Real. 65+ year-old vines on decomposed granite, farmed biodynamically. Ethereal and finely grained.
-
2023 Las Iruelas – £200 per bottle
From a 1.0 hectare vineyard in El Tiemblo at 1,010m, on complex soils of granite, slate, schist, and quartz. Muscular yet refined, with dark fruit and mineral structure — the Rhône meets Gredos.
-
2023 El Tamboril Tinto – £200 per bottle
From a 0.2ha north-facing site at 1,230m in Villanueva. Harvested late, yet low in alcohol. Floral, savoury, and Burgundian in finesse — long, fine, and incredibly pure.
-
2023 Tumba del Rey Moro – £240 per bottle
Pre-phylloxera vines, 0.5 hectare north-facing vineyard at 1,100m in Villanueva de Ávila, planted on pink granite and quartz. Intense garnet with aromas of flint, pomegranate, and watermelon. Juicy yet weightless — a wine that dances on the tongue.
