Mendoza, Argentina
El Enemigo (Bodega Aleanna)
Alejandro Vigil, head winemaker at Achaval Ferrer, makes this as his personal side project. The name means 'the enemy' — a nod to pushing against convention. It's a more elegant, less extracted take on Malbec than most Mendoza bottles, aimed at people who find the typical style too heavy.
