The 2022 Comando G Las Uvas de la Ira is a Grenache wine hailing from the Castillo la Mancha region of Spain. Produced by Comando G, this wine displays the distinct characteristics of its varietal and vintage. The 2022 Las Uvas de la Ira is crafted from Garnacha grapes sourced from seven vineyards in El Real de San Vicente. The wine undergoes a meticulous fermentation process, which involves separately fermenting the grapes according to the health of their skins. This is followed by varied maceration periods and maturation in both concrete and oak vats, as well as foudres, in approximately equal proportions.
This red wine, sealed with a cork, reflects the year's profile with slightly riper fruit and 14.5% alcohol content. The tannins are described as slightly dusty, contributing to the overall texture and mouthfeel of the wine. As noted by Luis Gutierrez from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, the wine has been awarded a score of 92+, indicating a high-quality offering from Comando G. Gutierrez mentions the wine's slightly riper fruit as a characteristic feature of the vintage, adding depth and complexity to the wine's flavor profile.
A total of 19,000 bottles were produced, and the wine was bottled in July 2023. This production scale allows for a relatively limited distribution, enhancing its appeal among wine enthusiasts who appreciate carefully crafted wines with unique regional attributes. The 2022 Comando G Las Uvas de la Ira stands out for its attention to detail in both vineyard selection and winemaking processes, making it a noteworthy choice for those seeking a Spanish Grenache with a balance of traditional and modern elements.
