Description
"At the crossroads of classicism and unpretentious cool, Landi and García have introduced a new audience – of both drinkers and collectors – to a finer side of Spanish wines."
- Ines Salpica (Decanter Magazine)
The Villanueva release shows Comando G at their most dialled-in - expressive but composed, with a clarity that really speaks to the site. Sourced from a few high plots around Villanueva de Ávila - La Cañada, Las Herguijuelas and El Robledillo - it sits just shy of 1000 metres up in the Gredos range. The soils here have a little more silt than the surrounding villages, and the wine seems to carry that extra lift and finesse.
In 2023, they’ve nailed the balance. It’s whole bunches as usual, fermented slow and wild, then rested in big old oak and demijohn to keep it honest. No fining, no filtration, and sulphur kept right at the edge. It’s a wine with length, not weight - all the detail, none of the showiness.
It’s not trying to prove anything. Just letting the vineyards talk, and keeping the volume low. On the down-low, this is one of the most complete expressions in the line-up.

"The village 2023 Villanueva from Villanueva de Ávila is stunning, very aromatic and floral combined with minerality, coming through as more complete and with complexity, elegance and great length. The nose could remind you of a red from Chambolle-Musigny. They do not use sulfur until bottling, keeping the balance between precision and character. It has an ethereal side with notes of watermelon, rose hip and hibiscus, with a strong mineral, wet-granite sensation. It has energy with precision. This is a bargain for the quality it delivers."
- Luis Gutiérrez (The Wine Advocate)
