Comando G Treinta Mil Maravedíes Garnacha Castilla y León VT

Castilla y León VT, Spain

Old-vine Garnacha from ancient pre-phylloxera plants at 1,000m altitude in the Sierra de Gredos on granite soils. Extraordinary freshness for such altitude — lifted raspberry, wild red cherry, dried violet, iron-granite mineral and striking precision; medium-weight with Burgundy-like elegance and long mineral finish.

Pairing intelligence

• main: The wine's precision and red-fruit freshness cut through suckling pig's rich crackling and savoury fat without being overwhelmed.
• main: Old-vine Garnacha's mineral freshness and cherry-raspberry fruit are the elevation of a classic Castilian roast lamb.
• main: Alpine Garnacha's purity and iron-granite mineral are perfectly calibrated for the delicacy of Castilian milk-fed lamb.
