A meeting of minds
“El Enemigo is the passion project of two Argentinian friends that has earned a cult following, dreamed up during a twilit sojourn along the River Thames in London in 2009. Alejandro Vigil is a soil expert and celebrated winemaker who for years has headed operations at Bodega Catena Zapata, the estate owned by Adrianna Catena’s father, the legendary Nicolás, a party in honour of whom they were both attending that opportune night. Adrianna is a historian currently studying for her doctorate at Oxford University. El Enemigo – the enemy – was created to produce a wine that would respect history and traditions whilst simultaneously rejecting the status quo.”

1st Course
Rabas de Calamar Fritas
Fried Calamari with Cilantro Lime Aioli

Wine-El Enemigo Chardonnay, Mendoza Argentina

“Alejandro Vigil is a master of Chardonnay, as well as a man who likes to push boundaries, which is why this impressive white was made with a little flor, just like a Fino Sherry. Toasty, spicy and salty, this is briny and refreshing with some honeyed notes”

2nd Course
Chicken Empanada
Salsa Criolla

Wine-El Enemigo Cabernet Franc, Mendoza Argentina

“This Cabernet Franc is ruby red in color with soft violet tones. The nose has intense aromas and concentrated notes of cassis, ripe currants, and sweet spices including black pepper and cloves. His tenure provides integrated oak notes of cedar and vanilla”

Entrée
Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Red Chimichurri

Wine- El Enemigo Malbec, Mendoza Argentina

“When you taste it, there’s an energetic lift: blackberries, plums, a whisper of floral violet, and a subtle herbaceous layer. On the palate it’s silky yet structured, supported by refined tannins, then finishes with a savoury, mineral-tinged echo that lingers. It’s a Malbec that balances power and poise — great to sip now but also rewarding with a little bottle age.

Dessert
Maple Flan
