Who We Are

Meet David Salazar, a passionate Mexican American vintner whose roots intertwine with the vines of southern Monterey County. Graduating from California State University, Fresno, with a degree in viticulture and enology, David's journey in the wine industry has taken him across California and to the vineyards of New Zealand, where his expertise in crafting award-winning wines blossomed.

Returning to California with a vision to celebrate Hispanic vintners, David founded Reclamacion Wines. He embarked on a mission to challenge the norms of winemaking. At Reclamacion Wines, we aim to reclaim the rightful place of the Hispanic vintner and create exceptional wines that reflect our heritage.

You'll often find the David at local events, sharing his wines and engaging in vibrant conversations with our customers. Join us as we change the narrative of winemaking and celebrate our roots in every bottle.
