Gran Enemigo Agrelo

Gran Enemigo Agrelo

Wine Description

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.

Acclaim
“Ripeness and elegance define this Cabernet Franc from Agrelo in Luján de Cuyo. The nose is inviting and offers aromas of violets and cranberries. Finely-grained tannins and good acidity provide support to balanced cigar box, blackberry, cranberry and mulberry flavors that merge seamlessly with hints of earthy bell pepper and herbal notes.” – (Editors’ Choice) — Wine Enthusiast, Dec 2023
“Elegant enough to drink now, but with structure allowing for age, this version offers dustry rose petal and fresh peppercorn notes, plus a juicy fore of strawberry and raspberry, with a pleasant wave of fresh acidity chiming in and carrying the flavors. Reveals subtle chocolate and gravel notes around polished tannins, with a lingering juicy berry finish.” — Wine Spectator, Nov 2023
