El Enemigo Chardonnay 2022

Description

From The Winemaker

Winemaker Alejandro Vigil’s El Enemigo Chardonnay 2022 merges classical technique with bold experimentation. By incorporating flor during fermentation—a method borrowed from Fino Sherry production—Vigil creates an unconventional white with toasty, briny, and honeyed characteristics that defy traditional Chardonnay expectations. The nose reveals delicate oak and vanilla undertones, while the palate delivers crisp acidity and a lingering finish. Hand-harvested from Mendoza’s finest vineyards, this Argentine expression pairs beautifully with seafood, poultry, and rich pasta dishes. A sophisticated choice for those seeking complexity and refinement in their glass.
