About this wine
New shipment arriving Friday 3rd August. Wine will ship ASAP. Buy now to secure your allocation.
The Rozas 1er cru Garnacha is, as the name says, classified premier cru by Comando G. Elegant and poised, this wine is a step up in classification and altitude, sitting above the Rozas Villages vineyards close to the ceiling beyond which growing grapes isn't really viable. The brick-red tinge to the colour bring Langhe to mind, Nebbiolo specifically, and there are more hints of that in the glass. The colour and the approachability owe a lot to the greater presence of silt midst the layers of granite. For the 1er cru, the vines are older, the soils are lighter and the altitude of the vineyard is higher than the village showing that signature highwire Sierra de Gredos/Comando G acidity.

Luis Gutierrez
There's one vineyard in the 2020 Rozas 1er Cru that does not make it to the final blend in warmer years (2019, 2017, 2022) but does in cooler ones (2021, 2020), so there's a little bit more wine of this vineyard blend from the village of Rozas de Puerto Real that follows the work in previous years. Due to COVID-19, there were no events or travels, so they focused on their vineyard work like never before in their lives, and this wine combines the floral character (rose petals) with the austerity of the granite. It's a little more generous than in 2018 and 2016 due to the last few days before the harvest when the weather got very warm. The texture shows the silt and iron from Rozas, which makes it tight. 13,186 bottles and 150 magnums produced. It was bottled in January 2022.

A savory herbal touch to the fresh, airy red berry fruit. Some white pepper, wild strawberries, game and licorice, too. Racy and bright with grapefruit zest and pomegranate to the palate. Firm tannins but remains very silky and bright on the palate, showing great drinkability here. Drink now.

Gorgeous nose, exuding rose petals, violets, wood smoke and pine needles. Light-to medium-bodied, with very fine, almost imperceptible tannins, and vibrant acidity, leading to a tight, tense finish. Great finesse and balance, this is highly distinctive. It has intensity, but it’s light on its feet. Pure Grenache grown as bush vines on granite soils at 900m altitude.
