A full-bodied, sophisticated Malbec from Mendoza showing dark berry fruit, violets, lavender, coffee and vanilla, with a touch of sweetness, smooth silky tannins and vibrant acidity. This will pair beautifully with grilled steak, slow-braised beef, lamb dishes or hard aged cheeses, where its dark fruit, silky tannins and depth complement bold, savoury flavours.  

El Enemigo, the collaboration between longtime Catena winemaker Alejandro Vigil and Adrianna Catena, has received widespread critical acclaim in recent years for its extraordinary wines from high-altitude sites in the Uco Valley just outside Mendoza.

"The 2020 Malbec also includes 8% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot, sourced from Gualtallary in the Uco Valley. It was aged for 15 months in foudres, resulting in a purple color. The nose presents plums, violets, sage and bitter orange. Dry and juicy on the palate, it moves with a nimble flow lifted by balanced acidity. The apparent absence of tannins contributes to its voluminous and weightless mouthfeel Drink 2023-2035." Joaquin Hidalgo, Vinous.com
