"One of winemaker Alejandro Vigil's favorite vintages, Gran Enemigo reveals Mendoza's full potential: magnificent!"

"Among El Enemigo's most refined wines is the Gran Enemigo Red Blend 2021, [...] Its dusty, floral bouquet with aromas of black fruits gradually unfolds to reveal a livelier and more intense profile. The palate is velvety, vibrant and taut, ending with a savory, fresh and refined finish, with a persistent, mineral core. 2024-2036" (Robert Parker 2025)

About wine:

Blue fruits with notes of blackberries, violets, white roses, and a hint of curry. Medium-bodied with fine tannins. Rather reserved on the palate with a lovely liveliness. Drink now or keep.

About wine:

A blend of 50% Malbec, 30% Cabernet Franc, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Merlot, the 2021 Red Blend Gran Enemigo is one of winemaker Alejandro Vigil's favorite vintages, showcasing the terroir, conditions, and his winemaking expertise. The grapes are grown in high-altitude limestone and rocky soil, then aged for over a year in old oak barrels. The wine is fresh, complex, and seductive, with notes of black fruit, hints of dried herbs, and a structure that will allow it to age for another 20 years. 2025-2045
