Comando G, led by Dani Landi and Fernando García, has gained renown for crafting ethereal and delicate Garnachas that challenge perceptions of the grape. 【Las Iruelas is a unique single site featuring slate and schist soils, which impart an extra layer of tension and complexity to the wine】. While specific vintage notes for 2016 are less detailed in available reports, Comando G's philosophy emphasizes biodynamic farming, manual tending, whole-cluster fermentation, and aging in neutral vessels to allow the terroir to shine. General tasting notes for Las Iruelas describe a perfumed bouquet of red fruit, wild herbs, crushed stone, and a floral lift. Expect a light to medium body with a silky texture, fine tannins, and bright acidity, leading to a long, mineral-driven finish.
