El Enemigo Syrah Viognier 2022
El Enemigo Syrah Viognier is a refined and expressive Argentine red inspired by the traditional co-fermented blends of Côte-Rôtie. Crafted from high-altitude vineyards in Mendoza, where cool Andean nights preserve freshness and aromatics, this wine brings together the dark, spicy intensity of Syrah with the lifted floral elegance of Viognier. The grapes are harvested by hand and fermented together, allowing the Viognier to enhance colour, perfume and texture while softening Syrah's natural power. Maturation in carefully selected oak adds depth, polish and savoury complexity, resulting in a wine that is both vibrant and sophisticated, with a distinctive sense of place. Why You'll Love It This is Argentine winemaking at its most refined—a Côte-Rôtie inspired blend that marries Old World elegance with New World intensity. Crafted by renowned winemaker Alejandro Vigil (Catena Zapata's chief winemaker) and historian Adrianna Catena, El Enemigo represents meticulous craftsmanship and terroir-driven expression. The high-altitude vineyards and co-fermentation technique create a wine of remarkable complexity and age-worthiness at an exceptional price point. Meet the Producer El Enemigo is the personal project of winemaker Alejandro Vigil and historian Adrianna Catena, created to honour Argentina's winemaking heritage while pushing boundaries with European-inspired techniques. Known for their meticulous craftsmanship and expressive, terroir-driven wines, the duo has earned international acclaim for producing some of the most characterful and age-worthy wines in South America. Production Syrah and a small proportion of Viognier are harvested from high-altitude vineyards and co-fermented to enhance aromatic lift and structural harmony. Gentle extraction preserves purity and finesse, while ageing in oak foudres and barrels adds layers of spice, texture and savoury nuance. The result is a beautifully balanced wine that marries Old World inspiration with Argentine intensity. Tasti
