A humid frost on April 23, 2024 took roughly 60% of the crop in Navatalgordo, leaving Comando G a small harvest from this high village in the Sierra de Gredos. The wine is 100% Garnacha from bush vines 50 to 80 years old, spread across several plots totaling 2.5 hectares at around 1,050 to 1,100 meters on fractured granite and quartz. The season ran warm, and picking wrapped up early to hold acidity and keep alcohol at 14%. Fermentation is on natural yeasts in open vats, followed by 12 months in French oak. The fruit is red and translucent rather than heavy: cherry, pomegranate and bramble, with pink peppercorn and a floral sweetness. Grainy, chalky tannins and a mineral freshness give it structure, and the finish ends on grapefruit pith. Critics give it a long runway, to around 2040. It suits grilled chorizo, roast quail or mushroom paella.

95 Points, Luis Gutierrez, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The village red 2024 Navatalgordo comes from 2.5 hectares in different plots in the village, where the soils are very stony and have a lot of quartz. There are some new vineyards; they managed to buy some and some belong to growers, though some of those are worked by the Comando team. 2024 was warmer than 2023 but with more finesse than 2022. It was marked by the frost the 23rd of April, a night with a full moon and lots of humidity because it had rained a lot, and they lost 60% of the grapes. The remaining grapes were picked at the right time, despite the dynamics of the harvest, when the nights were quite warm. They finished harvesting earlier and managed to keep the alcohol levels under control. Most of the 2024s come in at 14% alcohol but keep the poise and balance. The wine is quite primary, and there's a little more concentration and a gentler profile. It has abundant, slightly more Italian tannins, with slightly grainier chalk, and it's a little more rustic, very much marked by the soil with a low pH. This is the village wine to keep for a while. 5,246 bottles produced. It was bottled in August 2025." 12/25
