Vinisterra was founded in 2002, born out of the friendship between the entrepreneur, Guillermo Rodriguez Macouzet, and the enologist, Christoph Gaertner and their common passion for wine and the terroir of Ensenada valleys.
We are a micro-producer winery with 15 collaborators, producing 50,000 bottles of wine per year with a deep respect of our lands and our community. We try to express with pride the great nature of Baja California through our wines.
The grapes for our wines grow in our vineyards in Santo Tomas and Guadalupe valleys in a surface of 11 hectares.
Our winery was built out of bricks that were made with the soil of the town. We work with a minimum intervention oenology so consequently the wines of every single vine can express itself with a unique and pure taste as much as possible.
