Gran Enemigo- Cabernet Franc - Gualtallary 2019

$125 USD

From the limestone-rich soils of Gualtallary at 1,470 meters above sea level, the 2019 vintage of Gran Enemigo Cabernet Franc is a wine of intensity, finesse, and quiet power.
Crafted by Alejandro Vigil in homage to the great wines of Pomerol and Chinon, this wine is a true reflection of its terroir: austere, mineral, and deeply expressive.

A bottle that speaks of altitude, tension, and time.


👃 Aromas

– Red and black currants
– Crushed violets and lavender
– Flint, graphite, and cold ash
– Tobacco leaf, black tea, and cedar
– Subtle herbal notes: wild thyme, rosemary, black pepper

A bouquet that is refined, complex, and slow to reveal itself — like a great poem unfolding line by line.


👄 Palate

– Silky entry with tightly knit texture
– Firm yet elegant tannins, chalky and linear
– Flavors of dark fruit, graphite, herbs, and salinity
– Remarkable freshness and verticality
– A long, austere finish with laser-like focus

The 2019 is more structured and intellectual than warmer vintages — built to age gracefully for decades.


🍽️ Perfect Pairings

– Herb-crusted rack of lamb
– Duck breast with blackberry sauce
– Black truffle risotto
– Braised short ribs
– Hard cheeses like Morbier, Comté, or Sbrinz

Gran Enemigo Gualtallary 2019 isn’t just a wine — it’s a meditation on place, patience, and purity.
🍷 Crafted at altitude. Meant to be remembered.
