CURIOSITIES
Bodegas Enrique Mendoza was born as a company in 1989. Enrique Mendoza's concern led him to buy, collect and invest in wine from other wineries as an aficionado. Later, he decided to plant 2,000 plants to continue the Marina Baixa tradition of producing wine for family consumption. Those plantations, 25 years later, have been transformed into two wineries.
