Another unique, soulful wine from Comando G that is full of dried herbs, thyme, grapefruit, mineral, wild berries and white pepper. This is also one of the palest in color with an orangey hue, yet super ethereal and nuanced. Tangy and chalky on the palate with a medium body, with great precision and purity. The long, mineral finish goes right into your soul. Drink now or hold.

95 Luis Gutierrez - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Slightly darker, deeper and less ethereal on the nose than usual, the 2020 Las Umbrías has a lot of grip on the palate and is an earthier vintage of Umbrías, not the ethereal wine like the 2018, despite being the year with less alcohol (13.5%). It was a high-yielding year, and they picked the grapes during heavy rain, so they had to dry the grapes with warm air before putting them in the vat. Umbrías is possibly their most fragile grand cru, and it suffers under certain conditions. It seems to have suffered a bit in 2020, but it still has the elegance of Umbrías, the iron-like sensations from Rozas de Puerto Real and the balance and subtleness in a more earthy way. 2,559 bottles and 40 magnums were filled in March 2022. 2023-2030

Product Description:

"Las Umbrías is a single vineyard wine from primarily granite soils that shows the most delicate and floral character of any of the parcel wines of Comando G. Like its siblings, it is remarkably pale in color, but looks are deceiving as the aromas and subtle red fruit flavors are deftly balanced by fine tannin and mineral acidity. There are small patches of clay in the otherwise granitic sandy soil of Las Umbrías. Perhaps that’s what gives the wine added poise as the winemaking is the same here as with the other wines: hand-harvested, native fermentation, long maceration, and aging in a 10-12HL oak vat."- Importer
