Bodega El Enemigo

The joint efforts of Adrianna Catena (historian and passionate about the land) and Alejandro Vigil (oenologist and agricultural engineer) have given rise to a new gem from El Enemigo, the project they share, called Gran Enemigo Agrelo Single Vineyard, a red of historic character and revolutionary profile, a wine which soaks up tradition and rebels against resistance to change.

Cellar for up to 15 years. It is recommended to decant it for an hour before service.

The award-winning El Enemigo was created when Alejandro Vigil and Adrianna Catena, Nicolas's youngest daughter, decided to create the Aleanna winery, in the high-altitude wine region of Mendoza, to rescue some of the forgotten traditional techniques of Argentine viticulture.

Cellar for up to 16 years. Decant 1 hour before serving. 

El Enemigo was founded in 2009 by historian Adrianna Catena, the youngest daughter of legendary Argentine winemaker Nicolas Catena, and Catena Zapata’s chief winemaker, Alejandro Vigil.

El Enemigo was founded by Catena Zapata chief winemaker Alejandro Vigil and Nicolas Catena’s youngest daughter, Adrianna Catena who is a historian.

El Enemigo is an elegant, discreet and deep wine with aromas of chocolate and malted grains which seduce you even before you take your first drink. It is an excellent Mendoza wine and, above all, an example of thoroughness in wine production.

Rich and concentrated, it offers aromas of black fruit, cherry and dark berryfruit on the nose followed in the palate by a full-bodied wine with flavors of spice, blackberry, black cherry, pepper and a slight floral character. The finish is elegant and lengthy.

Pair this wine with rodizio, Lyonnaise sauces, grilled steaks, and barbecued ribs

Cellar for up to 8 years. No need to decant before serving.

The story of El Enemigo begins with a historian and a winemaker.
