Rumbo al Norte is a quintessential expression of Spanish Grenache; wonderfully suave and of unparalleled aromatic depth.

More info

Domain Comando G produces wine from old Grenache vines, hence the G of its title. The domain cultivates its vines biodynamically and the grapes are harvested by hand. They are grown on a tiny parcel of 0.3 hectares at 1,300 metres of altitude. The vinification involves as little intervention as possible, especially when it comes to fermenting with indigenous yeasts. The juice is macerated for 40-60 days before a 12-month maturation in French oak demi-muids (600 litres). It has a ruby red hue and a nose of ripe red and black fruits. Rumbo Al Norte is a truly fine cuvée with superb smoothness and aromatic depth. It is intense, expressive and has an exceptional finish. Serve it at 16°C and pair it with a roasted pheasant or charcuterie.

About the Producer Daniel Gomez Jimenez-Landi

Daniel Landi and Fernando Garcia are childhood friends. They decided to crzeate Comando G in 2008 in the mountainous Sierra de Gredos region, not far from Madrid. The went on the search for vineyards planted in the most difficult, remote areas. Garnacha (Grenache) is their grape variety of choice, and their ambition is to make wines which rival the elegance and finesse of a Burgundian Pinot Noir or a Syrah from Hermitage. The 10-hectare domain is entirely biodynamic, and the vines aged 50 to 80 years, planted between 850 and 1,200 metres of altitude on soils of sand, granite, ardoise and quartz. The combination of well-draining soils, high altitude and a clement micro-climate guarantees a long growing season, wines which are not too high in alcohol and extremely refined.
