The nose is dark and vivid, with fresh black cherry, blackberry, violet, peppercorn, crushed stone, cured meat and graphite. It feels almost architectural, a wine of shape, nerve and immense inner drive.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOn the palate, it is dense but fiercely bright, with Malbec’s dark fruit held in a taut mineral frame. There is chalky grip, sharp acidity, fine tannin texture and a long, ultra-pure finish that seems to narrow into stone, spice and black fruit. This is not plush, easy Malbec. It is severe, brilliant and unforgettable, a bottle for collectors who want Argentine wine at its most ambitious.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor when\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA once-in-a-cellar bottle needs a serious table and absolute attention.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePairs with\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDry-aged rib of beef, fire-grilled lamb, venison, slow-braised short rib, black garlic aubergine, wild mushrooms, aged hard cheeses or a full asado.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEl Enemigo is the cult project of Adrianna Catena and Alejandro Vigil, two of the most influential figures in Argentine wine. Launched in 2024, As Bravas is an homage to the female spirit, its name meaning “the brave ones” in Galician and “the angry ones” in Portuguese. It honours courage, brilliance and resilience, while recognising anger as a force that, when channelled with purpose, can break silence and drive meaningful change. From a tiny, high-altitude Gualtallary site, this is Malbec stripped back to stone, structure and truth.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*En-Primeur offer, wines arrive November 2026*\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wine Republic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55812889313665,"sku":null,"price":89.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/0513\/9841\/files\/WRimageplaceholder.png?v=1762288854","url":"https:\/\/www.wine-republic.co.uk\/products\/2018-as-bravas-gualtallary-malbec-el-enemigo","provider":"Wine Republic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
