2021 Comando G 'Rozas Premier-Primer Cru' Sierra de Gredos, Madrid, Spain Tenuta Grillo Arroyuelo Fino spends 5 yearsRozas 1er Cru comes from 6 vineyard plots, totaling 6 ha, of Garnacha located near Rozas de Puerto Real and at the foot of Cerro de los Corzos where the Las Umbrias vineyard located. Similar to its little sibling, La Bruja, Rozas 1er Cru is a lithe and winsome example of mountain Garnacha, but with a deeper minerality and slightly firmer tannin, hence the Burgundian inspired name.
