El Enemigo Chardonnay 2023

El Enemigo was founded in 2010 by Adrianna Catena, daughter of Nicolás Catena
Zapata, along with Alejandro Vigil, the award-winning head winemaker of Bodega
Catena Zapata. The El Enemigo vineyards are located in the Piedemonte al Sur region of
Mendoza, south of Luján de Cuyo, at high altitudes between 930 and 1,470 metres. El
Enemigo was born from a desire to carve their own path and a shared obsession with
terroir. They thrive in the thrill of experimentation, and delight in the new and
unconventional. Their philosophy is to create wines that reflect the freshness and
character of each individual vineyard: a pure expression of their exceptional terroir. The
name "El Enemigo", which translates as ‘the enemy’, is a nod to the internal battles and
challenges they faced in their pursuit of excellence in winemaking, and to the idea of
challenging the status quo. Their captivating wines are highly sought-after. Recently, El
Enemigo was awarded 17th place i>n the Top 100 of the World's Best Vineyards Awards
2025.

A high-altitude Chardonnay showing remarkable purity and saline minerality, with aromas
of salted lemon, apple, ripe peach and oak spice nuances. Full-bodied yet vibrant with
juicy clarity, and a chalky texture.
