El Enemigo Cabernet Franc

Its passage through oak offers integrated notes of cedar and vanilla. Fresh impact and excellent structure in the mouth, reminiscent of ripe red fruits with notes of eucalyptus and black pepper. This wine has excellent balance and elegance with a well-structured, persistent finish.

El Enemigo, winners of great awards, was born when Alejandro Vigil and Adrianna Catena, Nicolás' youngest daughter, decided to create the Aleanna winery, to rescue some of the forgotten traditional techniques of Argentine viticulture. The final objective is, according to Alejandro Vigil, to obtain a wine with the minimum possible intervention, a "transparent" wine in which the hand of the winemaker does not leave a mark, but in any case serves to interpret the particularities of each terroir.
