Malbec 2022 Vintage Overview

2022 OVERVIEW

Deep, pure dark fruit leads the way here, with blackberries, plums and violets edged by peppery spice and a gentle herbal lift. On the palate, El Enemigo Malbec 2022 is medium-bodied yet concentrated, with precise acidity and polished but gripping tannins that drive a long, savory finish. This vintage stands out for its combination of clarity, freshness and subtly earthy complexity rather than sheer weight.

About Malbec

El Enemigo Malbec is a high‑altitude Uco Valley expression crafted by Adrianna Catena and winemaker Alejandro Vigil, typically led by Malbec (about 90%) with a small Cabernet Franc component; sourced from cool, calcareous Gualtallary sites, it’s often fermented with whole clusters and aged in large foudres, showing violet and black‑fruit aromas, saline/mineral lift, spice and refined tannins for an elegant yet concentrated Argentine Malbec.
