About RGMX

A Family Winery in Parras

RGMX, short for Rivero González México, is a family-owned winery in Valle de Parras, Coahuila. The Rivero González family has grown grapes in Parras for more than two decades and is actively involved in the economic and social development of the region.

The Oldest Wine Region in the Americas

Parras is often called the cradle of wine in the Americas, home to the continent's oldest winery, founded in 1597. RGMX farms this high-altitude desert oasis at around 5,000 feet, where vineyards among walnut trees and springs give wines with intensity, balance and a distinct mineral identity.

Sustainable, Minimal Intervention

RGMX is a fully estate-driven winery. It uses native yeasts, practices circular agriculture, and plants each vineyard block according to its soil type and microclimate. Its approach is rooted in sustainable farming and minimal intervention, reflecting a deep respect for the land.

Pioneers of Mexican Wine

RGMX was a pioneer in producing Mexico's first blanc de noirs and orange wines, and its range runs from fresh, everyday bottles to more serious estate reds. Together the wines reflect the winery's mission: elegant, honest expressions of Valle de Parras and of Mexico's modern wine renaissance.

About El Enemigo: Premium Argentine Wine Heritage

The Philosophy Behind El Enemigo Wines

El Enemigo translates as "the enemy" - a powerful tribute to the internal battles that define us all. These exceptional Argentine wines from Mendoza honor the concept that at the end of any journey, we remember only one battle: the one fought within ourselves. El Enemigo premium wines celebrate these defining internal struggles while capturing the rich Argentine winemaking heritage that began when European immigrants first settled in Argentina's renowned wine regions.

Master Winemakers: Alejandro Vigil & Adrianna Catena

Alejandro Vigil - Acclaimed Argentine Winemaker

Alejandro Vigil brings unparalleled expertise as a soil specialist, winemaker, and agronomist to every bottle of El Enemigo wine. As Chief Winemaker at Bodega Catena Zapata and former head of the soil division at Argentina's Wine Institute and INTA, Vigil's deep understanding of Mendoza terroir creates wines of exceptional quality and character.

Adrianna Catena - Wine & History Scholar

Adrianna Catena, daughter of legendary Nicolás Catena, combines her Master's Degree in Early Modern Iberian Atlantic history from Oxford University with her passion for family legacy winemaking. Her unique perspective bridges Argentina's European immigrant wine heritage with modern premium winemaking techniques.

Historic Argentine Wine Legacy

El Enemigo wines reach back in time to capture the era when European immigrants in Argentina sought to create wines as fine - and finer - than those of their homeland. By 1936, Malbec and Petit Verdot became the most widely planted fine varietals in Argentina, with their blend considered the ultimate in refinement and aging potential - a tradition El Enemigo continues today.

BESA Winery: High-Altitude Excellence in Mendoza

El Enemigo is produced at BESA, strategically located in the Vista Flores district in Tunuyán, Mendoza. This state-of-the-art facility embodies the unique aspects of Mendoza's high-altitude winemaking region, nestled in the foothills of the Andes Mountains where optimal conditions create wines of extraordinary complexity and elegance.
