WINEMAKER'S NOTES
Fuentecilla, harnesses the remarkable longevity of 140-year-old Verdejo vines, a rare legacy predating the phylloxera epidemic. The wine's distinct character emerges from meticulous vinification in terracotta amphorae, reflecting Esmeralda's dedication to biodynamic and organic principles. This approach, coupled with selective partial destemming and skinless pressing, captures the essence of Rueda's ancient terroir.
STORY
Esmeralda García, a dynamic Spanish winemaker, revitalizes centuries-old Verdejo vineyards in her hometown of Santiuste de San Juan Bautista. Embracing the region's sandy soils, which predate the phylloxera plague, she meticulously tends vineyards with altitudinal and soil variances, producing distinct cuvées. Esmeralda's approach combines tradition with innovation, employing organic methods and native yeast fermentations. Her range of natural wines, from flor-aged varieties to single-vineyard Verdejos, reflects the unique heritage and evolving narrative of Rueda's winemaking.
