Sourced from the steep, slate-based El Reventón vineyard in Cebreros (Vinos de Madrid), it shows a rare combination of intensity, finesse, and freshness in a warm year. From 2023 onward, the site is vinified by the new El Reventón project from the Catena team, underscoring just how highly regarded this plot has become.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, El Reventón 2022 is medium to deep ruby with a slightly translucent core, reflecting its mountain origin and Garnacha purity rather than sheer weight. The nose is detailed and captivating: wild red berries, blood orange zest, dried roses, and Mediterranean herbs, layered with graphite, slatey minerality, and a distinct umami edge that hints at soy, cured meat, and a faintly saline note.\n\nOn the palate, this is one of the most complete and intense expressions in Comando G’s 2022 lineup, with more volume and density but without any heaviness or overt heat despite the labeled 15% alcohol. Silky, powdery tannins frame flavors of crushed raspberries, red cherry, pomegranate, and savory spice, all carried by a vibrant, mouthwatering acidity and a long, mineral-salted finish. The wine feels surprisingly cool and fresh for the vintage, a genuine triumph over the year’s warm conditions. It is already compelling, but the structure and balance suggest it will develop additional finesse, complexity, and aromatic nuance over the next 8–12 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEl Reventón comes from a rugged, high-altitude vineyard in Cebreros, in the Sierra de Gredos area of Vinos de Madrid, rooted in poor, slate (schist) soils that give the wine its pronounced mineral and almost salty character. The old-vine Garnacha is farmed organically with a strong focus on biodiversity and low yields, and the grapes are harvested by hand in small crates to ensure perfect sorting and integrity. In the cellar, Comando G typically favors whole or mostly whole clusters, gentle infusion-style extraction, and fermentation with indigenous yeasts in open vats, followed by an extended élevage in large, neutral oak and\/or concrete to preserve purity and terroir transparency. All their 2022 wines, including El Reventón, received a longer aging period before bottling, with this cuvée bottled in June 2024 in a tiny lot of 1,782 bottles and 50 magnums.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis refined yet powerful mountain Garnacha pairs beautifully with dishes that echo its savory, umami-driven character: roast lamb with herbs, game birds, slow-braised pork shoulder, or duck breast with cherries or figs. It also shines alongside grilled vegetables, mushroom-based dishes, charcuterie, and aged hard cheeses that can stand up to its intensity. Serve at around 15–17°C, slightly cooler than a typical robust red, to highlight its freshness and aromatic lift. Decant for 1–2 hours in its youth to soften the tannins and fully release the floral, mineral and spice notes; older bottles (from 5+ years of age) can be decanted more gently, about 30–45 minutes before serving.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eComando G was founded in 2008 by friends and winemakers Daniel Landi and Fernando García, who set out to showcase the extraordinary potential of old-vine Garnacha in the granitic and slatey mountains of the Sierra de Gredos. Working with tiny, high-altitude parcels and extreme terroirs, they quickly became a benchmark not only for Vinos de Madrid but for Spanish fine wine in general, often compared to top Burgundian and Rhône producers in terms of finesse and terroir expression. El Reventón has long been one of their most coveted single-vineyard crus, and this 2022 marks the end of an era before the vineyard transitions to the Catena-led El Reventón project. Comando G’s work has helped redefine what Spanish Garnacha can be—elegant, transparent, and profoundly site-driven—earning them international acclaim and cult status among collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Comando G","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54252490359121,"sku":"PS-15178986357116","price":222.58,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/ComandoGElReventon2020.png?v=1783444868","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/comando-g-el-reventon-2022-75-cl","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
