2023 El Enemigo (Aleanna), Semillon, Mendoza 1x750ml

Vinous 93

The 2023 Semillon hails from Agrelo, Lujan de Cuyo, and is aged 15 months in French oak with 35% under a <em>flor</em> veil. Yellow-green in hue, it opens with subtle honey and chamomile plus a touch of oak aging. This compact and medium-bodied white finishes pleasant and long with a return of gentle oak. This is a modern and nuanced Semillon for Argentina, and compared to other years, the 2023 is slightly leaner. [Joaquín Hidalgo, 04/25/2025]
