El Enemigo 2019 Cabernet Franc

Mendosa, Argentina

“Cabernet Franc has several advantages compared to Malbec or Cabernet Sauvignon ... it is easier to drink and offers an exotic aroma that seduces consumers and tasters." - Alejandro Vigil

A joint venture between Adrianna Catena, fourth generation from the famous Catena Zapata winemaking family, and winemaker Alejandro Vigil. The wine is aged for 15 months in 100 year old, large oak foudres, and contains 10% Malbec. Herbal and cherry aromas, flavours of red fruit, tobacco, spicey oak, nicely balanced, with supple tannins. Enjoy it with steak, rack of lamb, game.
