Recensie

"This is another rock-star chardonnay from here with dried-apple, pear-skin, crushed-stone and peach-pit character. Full body. Creamy texture. Phenolic form and a long, flavorful finish."
James Suckling: 96/100

"Gualtallary is one of Argentina's best sources for chardonnay, and one of the jewels in its crown is the Adrianna Vineyard, which Catena planted in 1992. That's where this chardonnay comes from, with its soils rich in calcium carbonate and stones of alluvial origin. The vineyard produces whites with lots of personality, and that comes through here in the mineral notes mixed with fruity flavors. The body is ample and speaks of its nine months in barrels—the toasted notes, the slight sweetness. This is an imposing chardonnay, delicious for fatty-fleshed fish. Or also for the cellar. This white will only gain in complexity with more time in the bottle."
Deschorchados: 95/100

"The textbook 2019 El Enemigo Chardonnay is elegant and subtle, seamless and integrated, with moderate alcohol and great freshness, finishing dry and very tasty. Vigil likes to have some flor in part of his wines, and it gives them a special complexity and tastiness. 2019 was a very healthy vintage, and the grapes achieved 13.5% alcohol while keeping very high acidity, which makes the palate vibrant and lively. It was produced with grapes from Gualtallary and that always adds extra freshness when picked at the right time. It matured in 500-liter oak barrels for nine months and there's always some flor in the élevage. 16,500 bottles were filled in December 2020."
Robert Parker: 93+/100
