Product Notes

The Bodega Aleanna Gran Enemigo Single Vineyard Gualtallary Wine is an exquisitely produced Argentinian wine. It is a sublime blend of Cabernet Franc and Malbec, offering a rich, deep ruby hue and a tantalising complexity of flavours. Distinguished tasting notes include ripe black fruits, leather, and delicate hints of floral and spice nuances. Aging in French oak barrels results in gracefully melded, subtle tannins with rich, silky smoothness. The wine's intense depth, structured body and long lingering finish epitomises Gualtallary's unique terroir. An ideal choice for discerning palates and impeccable for special occasions, it truly echoes elegance, intensity and class.

Tasting Notes

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