Tasting notes
The 2015 Rozas 1er Cru is their Garnacha village selection from the village of Rozas de Puerto Real. This is produced with biodynamically farmed vineyards (from 2015 all of the vineyards are biodynamic, even though they started earlier), and all of them are in the same zone of the village at some 950 meters altitude, with some 5.6 hectares in total. When I tasted this, I hadn't realized it was a 2015 and assumed it was a cooler vintage (2014). It talks about the superb vineyard work, a mini-Umbrías, with subtleness and elegance. This has to be the finest vintage to date for this bottling. Super recommended. 8,200 bottles were filled in November 2016. Talking to Comando G, they believe this wine really shows the vineyard work in this third vintage better than the previous one, improving irrespective of the conditions of the year. Bravo!
