– THE STEPHENS
We believe that wine is more than a drink. Historically, wine has brought people together and while together they’ve had great experiences. This is why Pur Noire offers an experience in every bottle. Through our innovative #KeepTheCork program and our coveted wine clubs, not only do we provide passionately crafted ultra-premium wines from Napa Valley, CA we also provide uniquely curated experiences.
Our wines are made with a focus on quality. Our grapes are sourced from some of the most respected vineyards in California. Our winemaker has made highly rated wines for well known vineyards and brands. The quality of our wine is evident in the typicity, terroir, and craftmanship that you can taste in every bottle of Pur Noire.
Our founders are a husband and wife team and are proud to have brought the first Black-owned winery and tasting room to the city of Houston. They built this company based on their passion for wine and memorable experiences.
