There is a change in the 2022 La Bruja. It is no longer a village wine from Rozas de Puerto Real. In 2022, it is a regional wine, and in 2023, it also will be a regional wine but from Ávila, from the Cebreros appellation, as they are focusing their work there. It's a juicy and aromatic Garnacha, very much in the Comando G style, with good ripeness, 14% alcohol and more in the style of the 2020. It has a medium-bodied palate and a sapid finish with contained ripeness and fine granite granularity. They macerated less to adapt to the vintage, and it partly fermented with less skins. It's a more approachable La Bruja, expressive, open and more fruit-driven, more in a Morgon style.

Producer Notes

 “Comando G’s “village” wine, La Bruja de Rozas, is sourced from several vineyards in the vicinity of Las Rozas de Puerto Real. Pure Garnacha from granitic sand, La Bruja is perfumed and lively with plenty of fruit with a backbone of acidity and fine tannin. Hand-harvested, natural yeast fermentation and a long maceration followed by nine months in oak vats.”

Influenced by the renowned wines of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Comando G has created a characterful, age-worthy expressions of Garnacha. The 2022 La Bruja de Rozas is a regional Garnacha from Ávila and is a departure from its previous village wine status focusing instead on producing exceptional wines from the promising region. The 2022 vintage showcases firm tannins laced with acidity on a complex medium-bodied palate. Bursts of bright red raspberry and strawberry are complemented by black pepper notes and a savory, almost wet earth texture. The wine's bright flavors of red fruits, spices, and minerality can stand up to the rich and gamey flavors of venison, wild boar, or rabbit.
