Para Maria returns, this time in Rosé form!
One of our most popular deals ever was the Para Maria de Los Tecolotes Red from Stolpman Vineyards. As we noted when we offered that wine, we love the fact that the Para Maria wines are a partnership between the winery and the wine growers, with the latter directly benefiting from the sale of the wine.
Here’s how the winery explains the 50-50 partnership between the Stolpman family (the winery) and the Solorzano family (the wine growers), on the Para Maria wines, which are named after Maria Solorzano:
Maria Solorzano is shy around visitors and quick to smile. For anyone that sees her in action, it is clear that she leads by the example of her own work ethic. Maria is most comfortable in her routine of perpetual motion out on the vineyard – checking the vines and directing the crew. Maria, solely in charge with a quiet, commanding presence, heads the day-to-day operation at Stolpman. She runs perhaps the hardest working, most passionate vineyard crew in the world. On a daily basis she teaches La Cuadrilla new techniques to execute a constant barrage of experiments – often adapting on the fly – figuring out practical ways of farming ridiculously high-density vineyards by hand, or training canopies for ideal shading and wind-flow.
The label art picks up on this same theme:
The nickname for villagers from Santa Cruz de las Flores, Jalisco; Maria’s hometown, is “Tecolote” – or night owl. The name stems from the popular late night parties thrown in the town. Maria and La Cuadrilla also turn nocturnal for three months out of the year to harvest in the cold night air for maximum freshness. A resident female Great Horned Owl is the most prolific rodent-control beast on the vineyard.
There are two reasons I absolutely love collaborations like these between wine growers and winemakers. The first is, of course, because the wine growers finally get their due. After all, as we’ve heard many times from excellent winemakers, “wine is made in the vineyard”.
The second reason is simply that I figure if the wine growers are getting their name put on the bottle with equal billing to the winery (along with 50% of the profits), you better believe they are going to supply that winery with some great grapes!
And it appears that is exactly what we have in today’s uber-delicious blend of Grenache, Mourvedre and Syrah from Santa Barbara County.
Only 2,700 cases were produced of this beauty that has an extremely reasonable SRP of $21. In fact, it’s so reasonable that many retailers sell it even higher than the SRP! That’s definitely not the way we roll however…
For the next day you can get 6 bottles of the 2021 Stolpman Para Maria Rosé for $79.99, or just $13.33 each, plus only $6.99 for shipping. That’s a total discount of 42%!

This rosé is a blend of 45% Grenache, 35% Mourvedre and 20% Syrah from Santa Barbara County. A portion of the Grenache and Mourvedre came from the Santa Barbara Highlands vineyard while all the Syrah and the rest of the Grenache and Mourvedre came from Santa Maria Bench vineyards and were co-fermented. All of the fermentation and a brief aging were in stainless steel.
From the winery:
VINTAGE: A cold spring led to a moderate summer without significant heat spikes through harvest. Over-all, the 2021 Stolpman harvest arrived late, with traditional reds beginning to hit peak ripeness at the end of September and through October. The warmer, arid Santa Barbara Highlands vineyard ripened much faster than the much colder Santa Maria sites, with over a month passing in between picks.
SENSORY: Dense strawberry and melon fruit dives deep into a sunburst blast of energy on both the nose and pallet. Fresh herb and wet stone compliment the beaming red fruit finished up with a spritz of lemon. Taut, high-toned, and bone-dry, yet carrying texture and fruit from the front of the palate through the finish.
A Collaboration: Ruben Solorzano + Pete Stolpman

The 2021 Stolpman Para Maria Rosé opens with a fresh, pleasing aroma of strawberry, melon, peach, a little lemon, a little watermelon and a little hibiscus. It's quite nice and quite refreshing.
Taking a sip reveals similar flavors to the nose in this very well put together, rather elegant wine. It's bone dry but full of fruit flavor with a touch of sea salt minerality adding intrigue -- just don't drink it too cold or it hides some of the flavors and the depth. (If you chill it in the fridge, I'd let it sit out a bit before drinking it.)
It ends with a dry, lip-smackingly long finish! This is an excellent wine to stock up on especially now that warmer weather is within reach.
