Stolpman Vineyards Para Maria is a 50-50 partnership between the Stolpman and Solorzano families. Taut blue and red plums spin seamlessly with a crack of pepper into high-toned, fiery red brightness. A winning combination of freshness and ripe depth.
80% Syrah and 20% Petit Verdot. The fruit comes from vineyards under Ruben Solorzano's control in Santa Barbara, California.
40% whole cluster Syrah experiences Carbonic fermentation in sealed tank, 40% destemmed Syrah experiences traditional open top fermentation, 20% destemmed Petit Verdot experiences open top fermentation. All fermentation occurs in stainless steel. The wine then ages in 100% neutral oak barrels for 9 months.
Powerful modern reds with the ability to age. They tend to be very intense, with ripe fruit, firm tannins & drinkability either young or cellared.
They often have notes of forest floor, blackcurrant, mint & eucalyptus
WINES FROM UNIQUE REGIONS & BOUTIQUE WINERIES
