Imagine unlocking a piece of viticultural history to tackle the greatest challenges of our time — climate change and the fight against modern day devastating vine pestilence.

Over the course of the past 23 years, Max Morales and Fran Bridgewater FCIM have worked tirelessly with the global team at Andes Wines to preserve a forgotten, pre-phylloxera clone of Cabernet Sauvignon, hidden within Chile’s rich patrimony of untouched vineyards. This genetic treasure holds the potential to revolutionise global winemaking by creating sustainable, resilient vines for generations to come.

Following directly on from the trailblazing feature in Forbes: https://www.forbesargentina.com/innovacion/un-clon-cabernet-sauvignon-enfrentar-plagas-cambio-climatico-n63599 ... all contributions will directly support the establishment of an Ancestral Vines Genetic Rescue Centre, based in Chile, dedicated to propagating this exceptional clone and safeguarding it for wine-producing regions worldwide.

This is more than a regional wine initiative; it has the potential to be a solution with global ramifications — protecting one of the world’s most beloved grape varieties and ensuring its longevity in an increasingly unpredictable future.
