Vintage: 2023

$27.99

El Enemigo Chardonnay has bold oak, citrus, and lees aromas. The ripe lemon, apple, yeast, honey, and subtle oak flavors are complex and well-balanced. It is toasty, spicy, briny, and refreshing with a full body, creamy texture, and long finish.

Pair El Enemigo Chardonnay with creamy cheeses like brie, summer crudités, fresh seafood, pesto chicken, or risotto.

Salty and spicy, with aromas of ginger, cardamom, lemons and sea salt. The palate is medium- to full-bodied, sharp and pungent, with a precise, saline character. Rich, focused and delicious. From grapes grown in Gualtallary. Fermented and aged in French oak, of which 35% was new. Drink or hold.

The 2023 Chardonnay derives from Adrianna Vineyard, was vinified in 500-liter barrique and incorporates some biological aging and a small portion of a five-year-old solera. Leading with a bright, citrus-driven nose bolstered by an elegant nutty richness, the palate is vibrant, textural and seamless, concluding with a succulent and nuanced finish. As with the whole El Enemigo range, this offers a fantastic value that entirely transcends the price point.
