El Enemigo Bonarda 2021 is a striking red from Mendoza, Argentina, crafted from Bonarda grapes grown in El Mirador, Rivadavia at 650 meters above sea level, and complemented by a touch of Cabernet Franc from the rocky, high-altitude soils of Gualtallary, Tupungato. This wine represents a thoughtful revival of one of Argentina’s most historic varietals, farmed sustainably and fermented with wild yeast before aging for 15 months in century-old foudres. The result is a minimal-intervention wine that captures the pure voice of its terroir.
On the nose, it reveals deep notes of picota cherry, wild berries, and crushed herbs, layered over a cool waft of eucalyptus. The palate balances ripe fruit with refined spice, framed by medium body, fresh acidity, and fine tannins. This elegant structure makes it versatile and food-friendly, pairing beautifully with white meats, charcuterie, creamy cheeses, or a simple pasta dish.
El Enemigo Bonarda stands as a testament to Argentina’s viticultural heritage and modern precision. With 13.5% alcohol, this wine drinks beautifully now and promises to evolve gracefully. It’s an exceptional choice for wine lovers seeking a uniquely Argentine expression that bridges rustic charm with polished complexity.
