El Gran Enemigo Single Vineyard Gualtallary 2020

Score 99 Robert Parker

The 2020 Gran Enemigo Gualtallary Single Vineyard is nothing short of phenomenal. It is very fresh and balanced and for a warm year like 2020 it doesn't show any heat or excess; it is subtle and has an ethereal character within the powerful and exuberant character of Gualtallary. It was fermented in concrete with indigenous yeasts and some full clusters, sometimes up to 70% of the volume. It is intense and powerful, but something makes you feel light on your feet and with great inner power. It is still young and should develop well in bottle and for a long time. 9,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in July 2021 after aging in large oak foudres for 15 months" Luis Gutierrez - The Wine Advocate - Robert Parker
