Product Notes

Bodega Aleanna's Gran Enemigo Single Vineyard Gualtallary is an Argentinian masterpiece. This exquisite red blend is a genteel marriage of Cabernet Franc and Malbec grapes, offering an uncanny taste journey through Argentina's vineyards. It bewitches with an uncanny bouquet of blackberries, cassis and forest floor. The wine’s substantial palate presents lively tannins with a lingering smoky finish, a testament to its aging in French oak barrels. This 2016 vintage is a tribute to the Gualtallary Terroir's unique character and Aleanna Winery's winemaking prowess - truly a splendid partner for red meat dishes.

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.
