Description

Gran Enemigo Single Vineyard El Cepillo 2019 intensely expresses the identity of the El Cepillo terroir, one of the southernmost and coolest areas of the Uco Valley. Made by Alejandro Vigil, this Cabernet Franc with a touch of Malbec combines structure, elegance and a unique mineral character.

"Deep red incolour, the nose offers aromas of licorice, fresh red fruit, mountain herbs, earthy notes and dried flowers. The palate is vibrant, with firm yet polished tannins, a silky texture and marked acidity that lifts its freshness. The finish is long, mineral and saline, a pure reflection of El Cepillo's calcareous soils. A gem for anyone looking for mountain wines with a true sense of place."
