2022 El Enemigo Chardonnay

Alejandro Vigil has been ageing his top Chardonnays under flor, a thin layer of yeast, to make creamy and incredibly rich whites with plenty of interest and saltiness that will reward a few years in bottle.  A steal for this quality.

"The 2022 Chardonnay hails from Gualtallary in the Uco Valley. Aged for 12 months in oak barrels, with some under velo de flor, this bright green-gold wine reveals aromas of peaches and pears with a hint of cashew and a slightly oaky backdrop. Dry and lean, the palate lingers with a chalky mouthfeel. This is a modern high-altitude Chardonnay. Drink 2024-2031." Joaquin Hidalgo, Vinous.com
