One of our favorite examples of semillon in Mendoza. This comes from vineyards planted on clay soils in Agrelo, in the Luján de Cuyo DO. It is a wine with intense aromas of fruit, spices, and honey. The palate is succulent, but fresh at the same time thanks to firm acidity that does not leave until the end. Its texture is creamy. The white wine you need for razor clams Parmesan.

The 2023 Sémillon hails from Agrelo, Luján de Cuyo, and is aged 15 months in French oak with 35% under a flor 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 Sémillon for Argentina, and compared to other years, the 2023 is slightly leaner.

My favorite wine of the El Enemigo range is the 2023 Semillon, which hails from Agrelo and was vinified in barrique with a substantial portion under flor. An exotic, floral bouquet of stone fruit, mandarin, citrus oil and dried white flowers is followed by a round, oily yet invigorating and tensile palate. The finish continues this tension with a chiseled, lifted quality that doesn't sacrifice textural breadth. This is a beautiful example of Uco Valley's proclivity to produce compelling Sémillon.

Mineral-driven, the 2023 Semillon is linear in style, light and bright with acid-driven buzz and intensity. A juicy core of subdued fruit speaks to a granitic backbone of stony texture.

Lovely aromas of pears, salted lemons and quince. The palate is saline and exceptional, with concentrated peach flavors and striking saltiness. Sourced from a historic vineyard in El Peral, this spent one year under flor. Bright, concentrated and incisive. Drink now or hold.
