El Enemigo Malbec -2022 (750ml)

90% Malbec, 10% Cabernet Franc from Gualtallary, Tupungato, 1470 m / 4822 ft. Fermented with indigenous yeasts, maximum temperature of 29 °C (84 °F) for 20 days, followed by a 15-day infusion with minimal movement. Aged 15 months in foudre (50%), barrel (25%), tank (25%).

2022 was an exceptional year from every possible qualitative standpoint. Throughout Mendoza, both in the Primera Zona (closer to Mendoza city) and in the Uco Valley, the wines have optimal acidity, great concentration and ripeness of polyphenols, and just-right (not too high) alcohol levels.
Alejandro Vigil says: “This is the best year that I have lived through.”

The 2022 Malbec includes 10% Cabernet Franc from Uco Valley. This aged for 15 months in a mix of foudres (50%), barrels (25%) and tanks (25%). It opens with red fruit, fresh plum, soft herbs like chamomile and pennyroyal and a violet note. This is dry, smooth and fruit-forward, with fine tannins, juicy flow and a subtle, chalky texture. The 2022 is a modern Argentine style, with precision and mouthwatering fruit. - By Joaquín Hidalgo on August 2025

The 2022 Malbec hails from Adrianna Vineyard, contains 10% Cabernet Franc and was fermented entirely whole clusters before maturing for 15 months in foudre, tank and barrel. The bouquet starts with a poised interplay between herbal and floral elements, with a core of black fruits, followed by a rich, fluid and seamless palate. It concludes with an intensely savory, earth-tinged finish framed with grippy, refined tannins. Matthew Luczy
