Envinate (aka wine-yourself) is the brainchild of Laura Ramos, Jose Martínez, Roberto Santana and Alfonso Torrente, four friends who met while studying enology at the University of Miguel Hernández in Alicante. 

Their work is currently focused in exploring the ancient, Atlantic-infused terruños of Ribeira Sacra and the Canary Islands. Their philosophy is simple; let each parcela or single parcel fully express itself by utilizing old-fashioned farming and wine-making methods. 

Below are some of the Envinate wines that Roberto Santana will be showcasing in San Francisco on June 27th at Agricultores 2.0.
