The wines of El Enemigo are a tribute to those internal battles that make us who we are, brought to fruition by a winemaker, Alejandro Vigil, and a historian, Adrianna Catena who share a love of wine and reach back in time to capture the era when European immigrants first settled in Argentina. El Enemigo is produced at Piedemonte al Sur, located in southern foothills of Maipu, Mendoza. The facility is named for the unique aspect of Mendoza’s high-altitude winemaking region nestled in the foothills of the Andes Mountains. Alejandro Vigil is a soil expert, a winemaker and an animal lover. He is the Chief Winemaker at Bodega Catena Zapata and the former head of the soil division at Argentina’s Wine Institute. Among his many pets, he keeps a cow to produce milk for donation to the local school children. Adrianna Catena is the daughter of Nicolás Catena. She is a graduate student in Early Modern Spanish history at the University of Oxford, UK. Her dream is to continue the family legacy of winemaking, while pursuing a passion for history and writing from a cottage surrounded by vineyards in the Argentine Andes.
Originally from southwestern France, Malbec was introduced in the mid-1800s in Argentina, today the world's leading producing country. We find the Malbec vines also in Chile, Australia and, in smaller quantities, also in South Africa, Calfornia and Italy. Malbec produces rich, strong and full-bodied wines. It is a versatile grape variety, with which it is possible to develop young wines or wines suitable for long aging. In the mouth, the wine is expressed in all its splendor: if young, the palate will feel a pleasant sourness, after a few years it will be a mature wine, very deep and of great complexity. 2 BOTTLES EACH.
