Heritage

Each glass holds over a century of history, echoing the resilience of Malbec’s original French ancestry brought in 1853.
Our single vineyard from La Consulta is a cherished heirloom of Malbec’s original French ancestry, with roots that trace back to 1853. It stood resilient while its European counterparts succumbed to the devastating phylloxera epidemic. Over the decades, while many vineyards turned to genetic modifications to bolster yield and resilience, the 1853 Old Vine Estate remained a beacon for Malbecs genetic heritage.
Twenty five-acre vineyard established in 1910 by the Bianchetti family, who emigrated from Italy, the vineyard stands as a living archive of the Malbec varietal, originally imported from France to Argentina by Michel Pouget in 1853. Through “layering” a time-honored viticulture technique, the vines ancestral DNA has been meticulously conserved.
