Gran Enemigo Gualtallary Single Vineyard 2019 - El Enemigo

Gran Enemigo Gualtallary Single Vineyard 2019 from El Enemigo is a mountain Cabernet Franc of extraordinary finesse, awarded 100/100 by Robert Parker and considered one of the finest contemporary Argentine reds.

Produced in the Mendoza region, in the Gualtallary cru at almost 1,500 meters above sea level, this wine is made from a Bordeaux blend inspired by the Pomerol style, composed of 85% Cabernet Franc and 15% Malbec. The vineyards are planted on calcareous and rocky soils, which give the wine mineral tension, elegance, and aromatic depth. Vinification takes place between the Catena family winery and the private barrel room of Alejandro Vigil, visionary winemaker and co-founder of the El Enemigo project.

It has an intense purple color with ruby reflections. The nose offers notes of sweet spices, black pepper, eucalyptus, thyme, and ripe black fruits such as blackberry and cherry, with hints of chocolate and vanilla from the oak aging. The palate is complex and structured, with ripe tannins and a very long finish, reminiscent of the great French crus for its precision and refinement.

With an alcohol content of 13.5% ABV, the Gran Enemigo Gualtallary Single Vineyard 2019 is perfect paired with grilled red meats, braised meats, aged cheeses, or as a meditation wine. It is certified sustainable by Bodegas de Argentina and represents the pinnacle of quality in the El Enemigo range.
