Vigil is responsible for crafting the famed Catena Zapata \"White Stones\" and \"White Bones\" Chardonnays, perhaps the most collectible Chardonnays in South America. The El Enemigo Chardonnay offers a compelling alternative viewpoint at a very reasonable price. \u003cspan class=\"inline-flex\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Vineyard \u0026amp; Winemaking\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eSourced from two vineyards at 1,400 meters above sea level on deep calcareous soils, fermented with wild yeasts and aged 12 months in French oak barrels (35% new). The signature twist: Vigil likes to push boundaries, which is why this white was made with a little flor — just like a Fino Sherry — aged nine months in 500-liter French oak barrels under a veil of yeast, toasty, spicy, and salty, with briny, refreshing character and honeyed notes. The 2023 also incorporates a small portion of a five-year-old solera. \u003cspan class=\"inline-flex\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eIt opens with green apple, chamomile, white peach, herbs, and a subtle vermouth note. Dry, compact, and saline, the oak broadens the palate where richness is otherwise restrained — a modern, refined profile for Gualtallary Chardonnay in a warm vintage. \u003cspan class=\"inline-flex\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eLeading 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"El Enemigo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45939462701242,"sku":"104313","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0724\/6836\/5498\/files\/ae1c5873a4ba74f9352379db9ad08f8d.png?v=1780447487","url":"https:\/\/bassins.com\/products\/2023-el-enemigo-chardonnay-mendoza-750ml","provider":"MacArthur Beverages","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
