This is the first white released by Comando G. Produced with Albillo grapes from the Gredos region, the 2012 El Tamboril comes from a singe vineyard at 1,230 meters, in Navatalgordo, province of ávila on pure, white-granite soils. This is only 0.2 hectares planted with a mixture of Garnacha Blanca and Garnacha Gris, and it's the last vineyard to be harvested, a little extreme. The whole clusters were pressed and the juice fermented in a 600-liter oak barrel where the wine aged for one year. You can still feel some smoky and spicy notes, but if the nose makes you travel to Burgundy with an elusive meaty character, the palate takes you to Germany for a dry Riesling with sharp and linear high-acidity and mouthfeel showing pure, clean and delineated flavors. It is a wine that is long, precise and narrow, rather than round. This is a groundbreaking white, produced in the geographical limits for grape growing. Strict is the word here.
