 Immaculate Rosé

In early 1853, four French Nuns arrived in Brownsville, Texas to do missionary work and teach in the wild South Texas frontier. They carried dormant grape cuttings from their Convent in Lyon, France which they planted behind the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in downtown Brownsville to make sacramental wine. These Vitis Vinifera grapes survived the hot, dry climate of the Rio Grande Valley for 169 years. Today, the grapes are thriving at several farms in the Rio Grande Valley including Bonita Flats and Rio Farms. These Nuns also established the first school in Brownsville and one of the first convents in America. We would like to pay homage to these grapes and the extraordinary women who planted them here over a hundred years ago. We hope you enjoy a taste of the South Texas spirit imparted through this Immaculate Rose.


Special thanks to Don Breedon for his beautiful art work on our bottle.
