Herencia Del Valle Wines with Guillermo and Angelica Herrera

Wine: Herencia Del Valle, Sauvingon Blanc, Napa  BIO: In 1997, Guillermo married Angelica, a Mexican-American from Napa Valley with roots in Guadalajara. Her parents were local vineyard managers, and Guillermo aspired to follow in their footsteps. In 2007, he started a farming company that gradually led to vineyard management, and in 2012, Guillermo and Angelica began using their hard-won skill set to make their own wine. “Herencia del Valle Wines is the story of Mexican migrants who prune the grapes in the icy winters and then harvest them in the blazing hot summers. The brand is a tribute to our ancestors who paved the way for us to open our own vineyards, in the vicinity of the ones where they toiled just to make ends meet. Our success belongs only to us, created solely by hard work and the resilience of those who raised us.”   Instagram
