There’s something deeply comforting about a wine that doesn’t just taste beautiful — it means something. Old Norwood Wines lives in that sweet space where craft meets conviction, where every bottle feels like a gentle echo of tradition, devotion, and purpose. In a world where so many wine brands chase trends, Old Norwood stands rooted in values shaped by Catholic heritage, family legacy, and a mission to give back.
This isn’t just wine made for sipping.
It’s wine made for serving — in every sense of the word.
A Mission Poured Into the Glass
Old Norwood Wines wasn’t born out of a boardroom. It grew out of faith, family, and the desire to build something that uplifts the Catholic community. The brand’s founders, Brendan and Emily Walsh, drew inspiration from the spiritual traditions that shaped their lives. The result? A wine label that donates up to 50% of profits to Catholic charities, missions, and vocations.
This is wine with intention.
Wine with generosity.
Wine with a heartbeat.
Crafting Wine Through the Lens of Catholic Tradition
Catholic culture has always woven wine into the rhythm of life — from sacraments to celebrations, from quiet family dinners to festive gatherings. Old Norwood Wines honors that heritage by crafting wines that feel grounded in reverence, patience, and craftsmanship.
Their winemaking process reflects virtues that have shaped the faith for centuries:
- Patience — letting grapes mature, letting wines rest, letting flavor develop slowly.
- Stewardship — sourcing grapes responsibly and supporting local vineyards.
- Community — using profits to support spiritual growth and charitable causes.
These values breathe through every wine in their lineup, making each bottle a small tribute to tradition.
