2021 Comando G Las Umbrias Garnacha

"At the crossroads of classicism and unpretentious cool, Landi and García have introduced a new audience – of both drinkers and collectors – to a finer side of Spanish wines."
- Ines Salpica (Decanter Magazine)

Las Umbrias is one of Comando G’s most delicate and distinctive wines, drawn from a small, east-facing plot tucked high into the hills above Rozas de Puerto Real. At 1,000 metres, in near constant shade, the vineyard’s conditions are extreme - but it’s here that Garnacha shows a completely different face: fine, lifted and almost weightless.

2021 was a cooler, late-ripening year, and it suited this vineyard perfectly. The team handled the fruit as gently as possible - whole-bunch fermented, long maceration, and aged in a single large foudre. The result is a wine that’s pale in colour but seriously structured, with piercing acidity and an almost whisper-soft texture.

Bottled cloudy and unfined, this isn’t Garnacha chasing richness or power. It’s quiet, detailed, and incredibly pure - less about fruit, more about place and feeling. One of the most distinctive wines in the Comando G lineup.

"Unusual and magical, the 2021 Las Umbrías is bottled cloudy and unfiltered, with wild Jura-like aromas and notes of red fruit, tangerine, and flowers. Cold, ethereal, and delicate with crystalline energy and almost invisible tannins. A vibrant, characterful palate with great finesse. 1,490 bottles produced."
- Luis Gutiérrez (The Wine Advocate)

"Confidently cloudy with wild herbs, tile, white pepper, and grapefruit. Peppery funk and juicy energy on a light, airy palate. Long, intense finish. Drink now."
