Comando G Granito del Cadalso Garnacha Sierra de Gredos, Madrid, Spain 2021

Comando G’s Granito del Cadalso Garnacha 2021 from the Sierra de Gredos in Madrid is a vibrant, mineral-driven expression of high-altitude Garnacha grown on granite soils. It shows lifted aromas of wild strawberry, red cherry, crushed herbs and subtle rose petal, framed by a distinctive granite-dust minerality. On the palate it’s bright and nervy, with juicy red fruit, fresh acidity and fine, lightly grippy tannins that keep the wine tense and focused. The style is elegant and almost Pinot-like, emphasizing finesse over power. It’s especially good with roast chicken, charcuterie, grilled vegetables or lighter tapas that let its purity and savory minerality shine.
