During colonial times, Spaniards banned wine production in Peru to protect their own exports — so locals turned instead to distilling Pisco, using eight grape varieties they'd brought from Spain. Today those 'Uvas Patrimoniales' (heritage grapes) are fueling a quiet revolution: the very grapes once reserved for Pisco are now being crafted into fine red and white wines by renowned local producers. Prieta Quebranta is more than a curated shop for exceptional Peruvian Pisco and wine — it's a mission to spotlight this emerging wine scene, paired with cheese produced only in small batches.
