Description

This is the “casa” of famous wine expert Alejandro Vigil, known more widely as “the Messi of Wine”, having been the first to be awarded 100 points by Robert Parker for his Argentinian wines, namely the iconic 2013 Gran Enemigo Single Vineyard Gualtallary and the 2016 Adriana Vineyard River Stone. The restaurant’s setting in Chachingo comes as a something of a surprise, and is inspired by Dante’s Divine Comedy (the story of a journey from hell to paradise, as well as that of the struggle with the inner self, hence his El Enemigo (The Enemy) wine brand). Following a guided tour of the vineyards that surround the building, head to the contemporary yet rustically appointed dining rooms, where the focus is on contemporary menus (one “executive” menu at lunchtime and two more extensive options in the evening) that showcase seasonal ingredients from the Mendoza region. The latter are sourced from its own garden and small-scale local producers, and are present in dishes such as mushrooms with spring onions, pork gnocchi with peas, and goat meat cooked at low temperature with sweet potato. Make sure you try the tomatoes grown by his mother, María Sance, with over 50 varieties that have been revived thanks to the Labrar programme.
