Rootstock 1869 refers to the resilient American grapevine rootstock—especially from Missouri—that was sent to France in the late 1800s to combat the phylloxera epidemic devastating European vineyards. These native varietals, known for their pest resistance and hardiness, were grafted beneath delicate French vines, saving the wine industry from collapse. Today, Rootstock 1869 symbolizes legacy, grit, and the quiet power of what lies beneath—a tribute to Missouri’s enduring role in global viticulture.
