About Don Miguel Gascón
We've been growing Malbec and transforming it into wine since 1884, when our founder, Don Miguel Gascón, opened our winery in Mendoza, Argentina.
Winemaking
For centuries, Malbec has been used as a blending grape, half a world away in Bordeaux. But, here in Mendoza, Malbec has reinvented itself as a rich, robust, stand-alone wine.
Argentina
Argentina is home to more than half a million acres of vines across seven major regions. At the center of it all is Mendoza.
History
More than 130 years ago, a young Miguel Escorihuela Gascón arrived in Argentina from Aragon, Spain, armed with agricultural skills and an entrepreneurial spirit. In 1884, Gascón bought his first vineyards and built his winery in Mendoza.
