El Enemigo

Thanks to her extensive studies and her close ties with her father Nicolas Zapata (founder of the famous Catena Zapata winery), Adrianna Zapata masterfully manages the El Enemigo estate alongside renowned oenologist Alejandro Vigil (himself in charge of the Bodegas Catena Zapata cuvées since 2002).

From their love of their terroir and their thirst for challenge, El Enemigo was born: the embodiment of the inner battle against the enemy that is our own limits. The

El Enemigo estate has always been committed to surpassing itself, offering first and foremost a magnificent palette of grape varieties grown on the high-altitude slopes of the Uco Valley (over 1400 meters): Malbec, Cabernet, Petit Verdot, Torrontes, Bonarda, Semillon, Chenin and Chardonnay.

EachEl Enemigo cuvée, whether white or red, is constantly enhanced by meticulous work both in the vineyard (plot-by-plot selection, meticulous hand-picking) and in the cellar (batch vinification, long maceration, very long ageing, sometimes in century-old tuns...).

The ultimate accolade for the Cabernet Sauvignon Gualtallary, named after the region where it flourishes: 100/100 Parker in 2013, and today 99/100 for the 2021: nothing will stop the myth of this exceptional terroir and the El Enemigo estate.
