Mission Sparkling Rosé greets you with an aroma reminiscent of freshly baked apple strudel. The fragrant blend of spiced apples and pastry crust hints at the delicious complexity to come.

The Mission grape holds a significant place in viticultural history as the earliest vinifera variety to be cultivated in the Americas. Its journey began along the Rio Grande in central New Mexico in 1629, marking the first European vinifera variety planted in what is now the United States. Brought by Spanish missionaries, this grape played a crucial role in the establishment of vineyards and the spread of winemaking traditions throughout the region. The Mission grape's resilience and adaptability allowed it to flourish in the New World, paving the way for the diverse and rich winemaking culture that exists today. This historical legacy is reflected in the unique character and enduring appeal of Mission Sparkling Rosé, a wine that celebrates both its storied past and its vibrant present.
