Discover the exceptional Gran Enemigo El Cepillo Single Vineyard 2018, a premium Argentine red wine from Mendoza’s Uco Valley. Produced in a low-yielding, dry vintage, this vintage delivers a powerful yet refined expression of the El Cepillo terroir.
On the nose, expect ripe plums, blackberries, dark cherries, and notes of pine cone, mint chocolate, cloves, and dried herbs, with an exotic curry undertone. Elegant floral aromas and a hint of black pepper complete the aromatic profile.
This 97-point wine (James Suckling & Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate) showcases fine-grained tannins, balanced acidity, and a muscular yet refined structure. Aged for 15 months in 4,000-litre ancient oak foudres, the wine retains pure fruit character and complexity.
Ideal for collectors and wine lovers seeking high-end Argentine Malbec blends, small-production red wines from Mendoza, or award-winning single vineyard wines.
Limited production: Only 7,200 bottles released.
