Bodega Esmeralda Garcia is a small artisanal company based near Segovia, a town north of Madrid, right in the heart of Spain. Coming from a family originally from Rueda, one of the regions of the Iberian Peninsula most famous for the production of great fragrant and aromatic white wines, Esmeralda Garcia decided early on to dedicate herself to viticulture. Once she had completed her studies in oenology, she worked in various wineries, accumulating valuable experience, until she decided to set up her own business to create her own personal project. The need to produce a genuine wine and the great love for her land and for the history of vine cultivation in Spain, led her towards courageous and fascinating choices, soon repaid by the success of her passionate work. To create her estate, Esmeralda Garcia chose to rely on old vineyards in the Segovia area. These are ancient plots cultivated on sandy soils, which have preserved a heritage of over a hundred-year-old vines trained as bush vines still ungrafted. Pre-phylloxera Verdejo vines, which are between 130 and 200 years old, of ancient biotypes that produce few bunches per plant but of absolutely exceptional quality. The presence of sandy soils, in which phylloxera cannot survive, has protected this area from the devastation that towards the end of the nineteenth century almost completely destroyed the European vineyard. The estate is located at an altitude of over 900 meters above sea level, in an area characterized by a typically continental climate, hot and dry, but with good ventilation and significant temperature variations between day and night temperatures. The property covers a total surface area of ​​about five hectares, which are managed with extreme care and attention, in full respect of nature, without the use of chemicals. The individual parcels are vinified separately to highlight and enhance the nuances of a great terroir. Esmeralda Garcia's philosophy is based on a light oenology that respects the raw material with delicate vinifications, aimed at bringing the fruit of plants, which are true monuments of viticulture, into the glass. Her wines possess the charm of the past, allowing you to savor the authentic and ancient taste of a great vine in its maximum varietal expression.
