2019 | Comando G | Granito del Cadalso Garnacha Sierra de Gredos

The 2019 Granito del Cadalso shows quite fresh with some citrus notes (orange peel, tangerine) and a faint touch of smoke. It's juicy and fluid. They did a shorter maceration and less extraction and it paid back, resulting in an approachable and quite elegant wine.

Producer Information

The vineyards that Daniel and Fernando have assembled are all farmed biodynamically. These vines range from 50 to 80 years old and are planted on sandy soils weathered from granite, slate, and quartz. A combination of high altitude, freely draining soils, and a mild and fairly humid micro-climate – for central Spain – guarantees a long growing season and a modest alcohol level in the finished wines. The resultant wines are startlingly pale, extraordinarily aromatic, and intensely flavorful. Each site is harvested by hand, usually in October, fermented by indigenous yeasts in open-top French oak casks, then aged in a combination of 500-700L French oak barrels, foudre, and clay amphorae.
