El Enemigo 'Gran Enemigo' Gualtallary Vineyard 2018

3 units available online.
Product description

El Enemigo translates as the enemy. Nodding to the fact that at the end of any journey, most remember only one battle, the one fought within (the original enemy). This is the battle that defines El Enemigo. Their wines are a tribute to those internal battles that make us who we are, brought to fruition by a winemaker, Alejandro Vigil, and a historian, Adrianna Catena, who share a love of wine and reach back in time to capture the era when European immigrants first settled in Argentina. 

El Gran Enemigo SV Gualtallary shows a deep purple colour with red highlights. Its aromas are intense and elegant. Cabernet Franc brings sweet spices, black pepper and light notes of eucalyptus and thyme. The oak aging gives a touch of chocolate and vanilla to the blend. The taste is a complex, sweet impact with structured tannins and a long, persistent finish. This wine was made in honour of the old Pomerol style, where Cabernet Franc was blended with the other Bordeaux varieties.

This wine is excellent with grilled meats and various kinds of cheese.
