Gran Enemigo Gualtallary Single Vineyard 2023 is a red wine from El Enemigo (Enemigo Wines) in Mendoza, Argentina, sourced from the high-altitude Gualtallary area of the Uco Valley. It is positioned as a Cabernet Franc–led bottling; Wine Spectator lists it as “El Enemigo Cabernet Franc Gualtallary Gran Single Vineyard 2023,” confirming both variety emphasis and origin. The producer’s own materials and its U.S. distributor present Gran Enemigo Gualtallary as an established single-vineyard wine, though the most recently published technical information appears to be for the 2022 vintage rather than 2023.

From the limited 2023-specific commentary available, the style reads as deliberately approachable rather than severe. In a tasting note published July 22, 2026, Wine Spectator calls it a “suave, quaffable red” that “gushes with fruit,” suggesting a generous core of ripe flavor and an easy, polished profile. The note is truncated publicly and the score is not visible without subscription, so there is not enough information to cite a numeric rating or the full set of descriptors Wine Spectator used to frame balance, structure, or finish. With only this single published professional note accessible for the 2023, it is not possible to corroborate the impression across multiple critics.

For context—though not verified for the 2023 vintage—the winery/distributor technical details for 2022 describe a blend of 85% Cabernet Franc and 15% Malbec from “deep-calcareous, rocky soil” at roughly 4,800 feet elevation, with Guyot training, fermentation in barriques around 72°F, and about seven months in French oak. If the 2023 follows a similar blueprint, expect Cabernet Franc’s aromatic lift and savory edge shaped by altitude and limestone, delivered in a fruit-forward, smooth-drinking frame consistent with Wine Spectator’s “suave” description.
