About: After a few stints with leading winemakers in the area, young Spanish winemaker Esmeralda García returned to her hometown of Santiuste de San Juan Bautista to tend her family’s old Verdejo vineyards. Here the dry, sandy soils have allowed for vines to thrive on their original rootstocks and she estimates many of them are over 200 years old (meaning they even predate the arrival of phylloxera in Spain in the late 19th century).
