This wine was made in honor of the old Pomerol style where Cabernet Franc was blended with the other Bordeaux varieties. It’s excellent with grilled meats and various cheeses.

Winemaking is spread between the Catena family winery in the Uco Valley and Alejandro’s own barrel room in his garden of Chachingo - The Republic - where his young son rides a horse among olive trees and where dogs and chickens share the grounds with the Vigil family and the winery.

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.
