Tasting Notes
This wine blew me away! It reminded me of the beautiful expressions of Jura Ploussard with its lifted bouquet of red fruits and florals underpinned by a plethora of complex dried herbs and stone-like savouriness. But it's not Ploussard, it's 100% Grenache from the Sierra de Grados hills that surround Madrid. A beautiful, delicate but complex wine I could happily sit on for hours had the bottle lasted. - Chris L
Daniel Gómez Jiménez-Landi, who usually goes by Dani, comes across as a light-hearted, rock-loving thirty year old. Underneath the jovial demeanour however is a deeply committed viticulturist. Dani’s two Sierra de Gredos projects, Comando G and his eponymous label, have attracted the highest praise from the likes of Jancis Robinson, Andrew Jefford, Luis Gutiérrez and Victor de la Serna.
Dani’s wines are farmed around the town of El Real de San Vicente in the Valle del Tiétar, which lies south of the Gredos along the edges of the Méntrida DO. These place names take prime position on Dani’s labels, acknowledging a desire to express a sense of place with as much precision as possible. From valley to village to individual plot, each bottle is clearly traceable to the piece of land it represents.
