Its Origins

Padrillos is the Malbec was created by Ernesto Catena, the son of Nicolas Catena, the man largely responsible for the Malbec from Mendoza's growing popularity. Located in Mendoza, Argentina, Padrillos was inspired by Ernesto’s passion for horses. With more than 30 retired polo ponies on the vineyards, Padrillos wines express the wild spirit of Argentina’s true grape varieties. Over the years, Ernesto and his team designed their biodynamic farm and vineyard as a sculpture to be gazed upon from the sky, much like the cities of the Mayan and Incan civilizations. The vineyard is surrounded by natural flora and fauna that help them achieve a state of harmony and equilibrium.
