James Suckling, 93 Points 

"Delicious, fresh strawberries, terracotta, blueberries, kola nuts, orange peel and freshly squeezed citrus. Despite the bright and expressive nose, the palate is quite serious with firm tannins and a lightly chewy finish. Drink now." 

Wine Advocate, 92 Points 

"I tasted the 2017 La Bruja de Rozas from one of the most challenging vintages of recent times. The result is spectacular, but volumes are much lower. In this warmer and riper year, they also used a portion of the must without skins or stems to try to achieve a lighter wine with more freshness. It has the Rozas floral character, with a little more tannin, as I often see with warmer vintages. 35,000 bottles were produced in this vintage affected by hail, which also greatly affected this village." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Comando G’s “village” wine, La Bruja de Rozas is sourced from several vineyards in the vicinity of Las Rozas de Puerto Real. Pure Garnacha from granitic sand, La Bruja is perfumed and lively with plenty of fruit with a backbone of acidity and fine tannin. Hand harvested, natural yeast fermentation and a long maceration followed by nine months in oak vats." 

Alcohol: 14.5%
