Bibi García

The Path

Bibi Garc built her foundation at University of Seville and Agronomy Engineering School of Madrid, training that gave her the technical vocabulary to move comfortably between vineyard, cellar, and the quiet mathematics of fermentation. That early grounding helped shape a career in which precision is never separated from instinct. Before arriving at Cortijo Los Aguilares in Ronda, Spain, she worked as winemaker at Remírez de Ganuza and later as winemaker at Priorat—two stages that, taken together, trace a path of increasing responsibility and hard-won experience. Since 2007, she has been Technical Director and winemaker of Cortijo Los Aguilares, a position that places her at the center of the estate’s decisions and rhythms. What is notable in Garc’s trajectory is not simply the progression of titles, but the consistency of purpose behind them. The technical and the expressive are not opposing forces in her work; they are entwined. Her background in engineering and agronomy suggests a mind comfortable with structure, yet her long tenure at Cortijo Los Aguilares in Ronda, Spain, also points to an enduring relationship with the subtler side of winemaking—the part that listens to fruit, weather, and time.

The Work Today

Her current role joins technical direction with winemaking, placing vineyard, cellar, and final wine under one disciplined remit. That kind of oversight requires both patience and authority: a willingness to shape detail without losing sight of the whole. At Cortijo Los Aguilares in Ronda, Spain, Garc’s work is rooted in continuity, in the slow accumulation of vintages and the steady refinement of a house style. Even now, her perspective remains outward-looking. She has said, “I just returned from a super inspiring trip to Burgundy with good friends in the industry.” The line is brief, but it offers a glimpse into the way she continues to engage with the wider world of wine—not as a spectator, but as a professional in dialogue with it. Burgundy, in that sentence, becomes more than a destination; it is a place of exchange, renewal, and renewed attention.

Signature

Bibi's signature wines include Breñal. In a portfolio context, that name carries particular weight, standing as one of the clearest expressions of the work she oversees at Cortijo Los Aguilares. For a winemaker whose career has been defined by exacting standards and long commitment, a signature wine suggests not only style but stewardship: the patient shaping of something distinct enough to be recognized, and grounded enough to feel inevitable.

In Their Words “I just returned from a super inspiring trip to Burgundy with good friends in the industry.”
