El Enemigo 2023 Chardonnay

When great winemaking meets remarkable value, you get El Enemigo, a collaboration between winemaker Alejandro Vigil (head winemaker at Catena Zapata) and historian Adrianna Catena. Each vintage continues to impress critics and collectors alike with balance and depth. This wine is so well balanced and flavorful; it's no wonder the accolades keep piling up.

Often compared to fine white Burgundy, this striking Chardonnay melds richness with tension. Expect layers of pear, almond, and smoky minerality wrapped around a bright, saline core. It's already earned outstanding press, 93 points from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate and easily outshines bottles twice the price.

From the Wine Advocate (93pts): 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.
