Aleanna Winery has no entry line of products. The El Enemigo range has quality characteristics of “terroir” wines with emphasis on the Gualtallary zone (1450 m altitude), the highest zone of Mendoza and the only one with limestone soils.
El Enemigo (The enemy): At the end of the journey we remember only one battle. The one we gave to ourselves, the one that defines us. The “enemy” is not kidding as it was distinguished by J.Suckling MW as the best neocosmic white wine under 30 euros in the world (2016) giving it 98/100 points, as in the next year (2017)!!
