Description
The Gran Enemigo Chacayes Cabernet Franc 2021 is a wine that shines with a deep, intense red hue, inviting exploration of its layered complexity. On the nose, it unveils a vibrant bouquet of black cherries, fresh herbs, and graphite, complemented by a subtle touch of floral notes and earthy undertones — a preview of the depth and elegance found on the palate.
On the palate, this vintage is refined and powerful, with polished tannins and a lively acidity that brings structure and finesse. The core is filled with dark fruit, gentle spice, and a remarkable mineral tension that speaks of its high-altitude origin in Chacayes, within the Uco Valley. The wine finishes long and persistent, leaving behind a sense of both place and precision.
Crafted by renowned winemaker Alejandro Vigil, the 2021 vintage continues to express the winery's philosophy — a tribute to identity and transformation, captured in a bottle of purity and grace. With a 98-point rating from James Suckling, it confirms its place among the most iconic Argentine Cabernet Francs.
When it comes to food pairings, this wine excels alongside duck breast with cherry glaze, mushroom risotto, or slow-cooked lamb tagine — dishes that highlight its elegance, depth, and vibrant character. It also pairs beautifully with aged cheeses such as Comté or Manchego, which bring out its minerality and complex aromatics.
The Gran Enemigo Chacayes Cabernet Franc 2021 is more than a wine — it’s an expression of terroir, craftsmanship, and the soul of Mendoza, offering a tasting experience that is both memorable and profound.
