The pure Chardonnay grapes of El Enemigo are grown near the Andes Mountains at an altitude above sea level ranging from 930 to 1470 meters; in particular, the Gualtallary vineyard cultivated with Chardonnay reaches the maximum height of the winery's holdings. The soil is calcareous, rocky, and clayey, a composition that is optimal for vine cultivation; the climate is characterized by significant temperature variations between day and night favorable for grape ripening. After the harvest is completed, a 40-day fermentation with indigenous yeasts in mostly new French barriques takes place, followed by a 9-month aging.
