El Enemigo, Chardonnay 2023
El Enemigo has become one of Argentina's most intriguing projects, the brainchild of Alejandro Vigil and Adrianna Catena. Their 2023 Chardonnay comes from high-altitude Mendoza vineyards where cool nights preserve the grape's natural acidity and elegance.

Stone fruit and citrus dance with subtle mineral undertones, whilst judicious oak adds texture without overwhelming the fruit. This is Argentine Chardonnay with serious intent.
Undurraga Terroir Hunter Chardonnay West (T.H.) 2022
Undurraga Terroir Hunter Chardonnay is a refined coastal Chilean wine, offering inviting aromas of butterscotch and chamomile flowers complemented by toasted hazelnut and subtle ginger. Elegant and mineral-driven, it finishes with a saline freshness that beautifully showcases the Limarí Valley terroir. Meet the producer Founded in 1885, Undurraga is one of Chile’s most prestigious wineries, recognised globally for its terroir-driven wines. The estate spans 1,350 hectares across top Chilean wine regions, including Leyda, Cauquenes, and Itata.

The vineyard sits on an ancient alluvial terrace with 50% gravel and calcareous subsoil, enhancing the wine’s mineral character. Low rainfall and consistent sunlight allow for slow ripening, resulting in concentrated flavours and balanced acidity. Winemaking Hand-harvested grapes are carefully sorted to ensure only the highest quality clusters are used. After gentle pressing and cold stabilisation, fermentation occurs in a combination of egg-shaped concrete tanks and large Burgundian oak barrels (16% new) using natural yeasts at 15–17°C. The wine is aged on lees for 10 months with regular bâtonnage, imparting weight, texture, and depth. Tasting notes Fresh aromas of chamomile flowers, lemon, melon, and pear are layered with toasted hazelnut and subtle oak spice. Smooth and creamy on the palate, it balances rich texture with coastal freshness, fin
