On April 13, 1819, Pascual Harriague, the Basque who has been called the founder of Uruguayan viticulture, was born in Hasparren, Labourd. At 29, in 1838, he reached this South American country, which had just achieved its independence. There, he worked in the meat salting industry (which was a huge industry before refrigeration), working his way up from day laborer to the owner of the Salero de la Caballada in the city of Salto.
Pascual Harriague was determined to create a wine industry in that part of the country, and made several attempts to do so with several varieties of grapes…with little success. That is, until he met another Basque, Juan Jáuregui, born in Irouleguy in 1812.
The Basse-Navarrese had managed to adapt vines brought from our country with great success in Concordia, the Argentine town just across the border from Salto; specifically, the Tannat variety that is used to make the marvelous wine Irouléguy. Pascual Harriague used it, and that’s how winemaking got its start in Uruguay. Later came the story of highs and lows that ended on December 28, 1910, when a terrible fire destroye dhis main casks and facilities, leaving him practically broke.
While Tannat was being established in the New World, European varieties were suffering from the tragedy of the phylloxera plague, an aphid-like grapevine parasite, that devastated plantations on the Old Continent and caused, among other disasters, the disappearance of Tannat from the world, except on some small and ignored vineyards in Uruguay and Argentina.
Cartel de la “Ardo festa” 2019 en Salt
In the 1990s from these plantations in Concordia and Salto, promoted by these Basques, this variety could be recovered for the world to enjoy.
All week, the Ardo Festa has been underway in Salto, to commemorate the 200th anniversary of its birth. The Basque Center of Salto, the Saltoko Euskaldunen Taldea, has been the main protagonist. It’s been so important that the mayor of Salto, Aque, is going to give the Harriague Winery award to this Basque center, for their part in developing the “Harriague Winery Cultural Space, Mile Zero for Tannat”.
Diario del Pueblo – 9/4/2019 – Uruguay
Comenzó la Semana de Harriague. Intendente anunció que remitió a la Junta proyecto de donación de Bodega Harriague al Centro Vasco
En la tarde del lunes comenzó la Semana de Harriague, que comprende diversas actividades en los próximos días destinadas a homenajear a Pascual Harriague, pionero vasco e introductor de la cepa Tannat en nuestro país, y a través de su figura a todos los pioneros vascos que han dado tanto por el departamento de Salto.
Salto y la comunidad vasca conmemorarán el bicentenario del nacimiento de Pascual Harriague
Con una conferencia de prensa en el Centro Vasco Euskal Erria de Montevideo, se realizó el lanzamiento de la Semana de Harriague, en la que se desarrollarán múltiples actividades en la ciudad de Salto, enclave de la histórica bodega del precursor de la vitivinicultura uruguaya y de la hoy cepa emblema de nuestro país, la Tannat.
Se realizó el lanzamiento de la Semana de Harriague
Serán múltiples actividades para el rescate de valores patrimoniales de la figura de Pascual Harriague. Desde el lunes 8 de abril hasta el domingo 14, precisamente la fecha en que se conmemoran 200 años del nacimiento de vasco francés y pro hombre de Salto…
Pascual Harriague fue un pionero en el desarrollo de la vitivinicultura, iniciando sus primeros ensayos con cepas de uvas criollas. Nacido en 1819 en Hasparren, Lapurdi, llegó al Uruguay en 1838, trabajando en diversas actividades: primero como jornalero en los saladeros del Cerro en Montevideo, luego de dependiente en un comercio de San José, trasladándose finalmente a Salto en 1840, instado por Juan Claviere, propietario del Saladero Quemado del Ceibal a participar en sus negocios. Instala por su cuenta, una curtiembre que con el tiempo transformó en el Saladero La Caballada, donde se preparaba tasajo a gran escala, así como toda clase de salazones, curtido de pieles, jabones y preparación de grasas.
El esfuerzo que realiza la CH del PHS desde hace años, para rescatar la memoria y poner en valor los vestigios materiales de las Bodegas de Pascual Harriague tiene posibilidades ciertas de dar un paso importante adelante. Varias reuniones llevadas a cabo entre la Comisión, la Dirección de Cultura de la Intendencia de Salto y la asociación vasca de Salto “Saltoko Euskaldunen Taldea”, captarían el apoyo del País Vasco para poner en destaque el lugar. Saltoko Euskaldunen Taldea se constituye en el nexo con las asociaciones vascas europeas en el proyecto. Se estudia ahora la delimitación del área a ser excluida de la actividad de los depósitos municipales para comenzar a ser tratada como sitio patrimonial.
