The Gran Enemigo Chacayes Cabernet Franc 2020 is a wine that radiates a deep, vibrant red color, inviting you to discover its layered and expressive personality. On the nose, it offers a complex aromatic profile of ripe blackberries, dried herbs, and crushed stones, enhanced by subtle hints of violet and cedar — a refined prelude to the wine’s depth and harmony.

On the palate, the 2020 vintage is intense and elegant, marked by fine-grained tannins and a bright acidity that gives it remarkable structure and freshness. Layers of dark fruit, tobacco, and savory spice unfold gracefully, balanced by a pronounced mineral core that reflects the high-altitude terroir of Chacayes, in the heart of the Uco Valley. The finish is long, clean, and focused, leaving a lasting impression of precision and identity.

Crafted by renowned winemaker Alejandro Vigil, this vintage captures the spirit of exploration and authenticity, continuing the story of a wine that defies convention and celebrates origin and artistry. Recognized with 98 points by James Suckling, the 2020 stands as a benchmark for Argentine Cabernet Franc.

In terms of pairings, the 2020 vintage is outstanding alongside herb-crusted pork tenderloin, grilled eggplant with miso glaze, or wild mushroom and polenta tart — dishes that highlight its aromatic complexity and mineral finesse. It also pairs beautifully with semi-hard cheeses like Gruyère or aged goat cheese, which enhance the wine’s earthy and floral notes.

The Gran Enemigo Chacayes Cabernet Franc 2020 is not just a wine — it’s a celebration of place, craft, and the unique soul of Mendoza, offering an experience that is both captivating and unforgettabl
