The 2020 El Enemigo Bonarda 'La Esperanza' is a red wine from Mendoza, Argentina. Crafted exclusively from Bonarda grapes, this single-vineyard expression showcases the unique terroir of the La Esperanza vineyard and the meticulous winemaking of El Enemigo. Vineyard and Production Sourced from the La Esperanza vineyard in San Martín, Mendoza, the vines are over 80 years old, planted in deep sandy and clay soils. The 2020 vintage experienced favorable conditions, allowing the grapes to achieve optimal ripeness. Traditional vinification methods were employed, including fermentation with wild yeasts over 15 days at controlled temperatures, followed by a 25-day maceration period. The wine was then aged for 12 months in 100-year-old foudres, contributing to its complexity and elegance. Tasting Notes Appearance : Brilliant hue, denoting youth and freshness.
