It is the most restrained and austere register of Argentina's benchmark Cabernet Franc — chalk, oyster shell and herb, with tannins that dissolve into texture.\n\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top:40px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e🍷 At a Glance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n• \u003cstrong\u003eGrape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cabernet Franc\u003cbr\u003e\n• \u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gualtallary, Tupungato — Uco Valley, Mendoza\u003cbr\u003e\n• \u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2019\u003cbr\u003e\n• \u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bodega Aleanna\u003cbr\u003e\n• \u003cstrong\u003eWinemaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Alejandro Vigil\u003cbr\u003e\n• \u003cstrong\u003eAltitude:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1,470 m\u003cbr\u003e\n• \u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Calcareous, rocky\u003cbr\u003e\n• \u003cstrong\u003eViticulture:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-density planting, 10,000 vines per hectare\u003cbr\u003e\n• \u003cstrong\u003eVinification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Barrel fermentation with cold soak and extended maceration, partial whole bunch; around 15 months in ancient 4,000-litre oak foudres\u003cbr\u003e\n• \u003cstrong\u003eVintage conditions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rainfall 20–60% below normal, cooler overall, harvest one to three weeks early, fruit free of botrytis and mildew\u003cbr\u003e\n• \u003cstrong\u003eServing temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16–18°C\u003cbr\u003e\n• \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dry red wine\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top:40px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e👃 Tasting Notes \u0026amp; Experience\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n• \u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright ruby\u003cbr\u003e\n• \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Damp earth, oyster shell, blueberry, thyme, rosemary and mushroom\u003cbr\u003e\n• \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Serious and chalky, pure and mineral rather than fruit-forward\u003cbr\u003e\n• \u003cstrong\u003eStructure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Abundant dissolved tannin with remarkable tension\u003cbr\u003e\n• \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very long and uncompromising\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nGualtallary is the site that made Aleanna's name, and the dry 2019 season pushed it further toward austerity. Everything about the winemaking is designed to stay out of the way: fermentation in barrel rather than tank, no new oak, then more than a year in enormous old foudres that lend texture without flavour. The result grows in the glass and rewards patience, though it drinks well now. Vigil is a soil scientist by training, and it shows — this tastes like limestone before it tastes like grapes.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top:40px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e❤️ Why We Love It\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n• The reference point for Argentine Cabernet Franc, in a taut, cool-season vintage\u003cbr\u003e\n• No new oak anywhere — ancient foudres only\u003cbr\u003e\n• A wine that improves over hours in the glass and years in the cellar\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top:40px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e🍽️ Food Pairing Ideas\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n• Rare roast beef or grilled lamb\u003cbr\u003e\n• Mushrooms, truffle and root vegetables\u003cbr\u003e\n• Aged cheeses and charcuterie\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top:40px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e👤 Who This Wine Is For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n✓ Collectors following the top tier of Uco Valley single-vineyard reds\u003cbr\u003e\n✓ Drinkers who want minerality, tension and length above all\u003cbr\u003e\n✕ Not ideal if you want soft, ripe, immediately generous fruit\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bodega Aleanna","offers":[{"title":"750ml \/ 1 bottle","offer_id":48075379310644,"sku":"COL-ENEMIGO-GUALTA-19","price":172.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"750ml \/ 6 bottles","offer_id":48096594952244,"sku":"COL-ENEMIGO-GUALTA-19-6PK","price":931.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"750ml \/ 12 bottles","offer_id":48075379343412,"sku":"COL-ENEMIGO-GUALTA-19-12PK","price":1656.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/1739\/2436\/files\/bodega-aleanna-gran-enemigo-gualtallary-single-vineyard-cabernet-franc-uco-valley-argentina.png?v=1785896734","url":"https:\/\/www.inbodega.com\/products\/bodega-aleanna-gran-enemigo-gualtallary-single-vineyard-cabernet-franc-2019-uco-valley-argentina","provider":"InBodega","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
