Though Vinícola Emeve is a blend of both Californian and Mexican viticulture roots, owner Mario Villarreal and winemaker/enologist Reynaldo Rodriguez have seemed to settle the beginnings of a great Valle de Guadalupe tradition with a fresh and elegant product that has a great balance between good acidity and tannins. This seems to be what Baja wines are all about. A wine lover’s wine that reflects the cultural of Mexico whose passions run as rich as their soil. Rodriguez (an Ensenada native who received his formal training in Spain) and Villarreal obtained cuttings from the University of California. The combination has proven fantastic in the way of artisanal wines that are wonderfully accessible for every palate.
