El Enemigo Chardonnay

Wine Description

“Alejandro Vigil is a master of Chardonnay, as well as a man who likes to push boundaries, which is why this impressive white was made with a little flor, just like a Fino Sherry. Toasty, spicy and salty, this is briney and refreshing with some honeyed notes”.

Acclaim
“This is dense and flavorful with lots of sliced apple, almond and flower character. Hints of kiwi too. Full body, dry and exceptionally long finish. Oily but dry. Wild. Drink now.”
— James Suckling, Jun 2017
BEST CHARDONNAYS OF THE YEAR: “Silky texture and immensely vivacious, this chardonnay full of fruit has flavors without end – and it’s serious.”
— Descorchados, Jun 2017
