Description
Discover the extraordinary character of Gran Enemigo Gualtallary 2023, one of Argentina’s most iconic and sought-after red wines. Crafted by renowned winemaker Alejandro Vigil at Bodega Aleanna, this exceptional wine represents a profound expression of Cabernet Franc from the high-altitude terroirs of Gualtallary, Mendoza.
The 2023 vintage is composed of 92% Cabernet Franc and 8% Malbec, bringing together the aromatic precision and freshness of Cabernet Franc with the depth, color, and structure of Malbec. Grown in the unique limestone-rich soils of Gualtallary, the wine showcases remarkable freshness, tension, minerality, and complexity.
In the glass, Gran Enemigo Gualtallary reveals expressive aromas of blackberries, black cherries, violets, and delicate herbal notes, complemented by subtle mineral nuances and hints of spice. The palate is intense yet remarkably refined, with vibrant acidity, polished tannins, and a deep, layered structure that leads to an exceptionally long and persistent finish.
Aged for 15 months in 100-year-old oak foudres, the wine gains complexity and texture while preserving the purity of its fruit and the distinctive identity of its terroir. The result is a sophisticated and age-worthy Argentine red wine that has established itself as a benchmark for premium Cabernet Franc worldwide.
This offering includes a case of six 750 ml bottles, making it an exceptional choice for collectors, special occasions, fine dining, or building a premium wine cellar.
