Stop and smell the Rosé! Expressing ripe strawberries, white nectarine, rhubarb and herbal undertones, her minerality is braced by a fresh acidity that will keep you coming back for another sip. Light and refreshing, this wine will make you want to grab a icy glass, find your favorite deck chair and chill. Her pink-ambrosia brightness will make a perfect pairing for a fresh summer salad, grilled vegetable skewers, or a lovely strawberry rhubarb pie.
Our Rosé is named ‘Maggie Clair’ referring to winemaker Mari’s, mom. Maggie Clair is the name her mother, Margaret, was called in high school. Margaret is an ongoing inspiration for her children, Mari and Marcus. An independent spirit and full of fun, Margaret would lead her kids berry picking off logging roads, exploring coastal beaches and tidepools and up to the mountains for ski lesson when they were young. She is tough and she is fearless. Even now at age 80, Margaret is always up for a good time, whether it’s ziplining, driving dune buggies, or riding the ATVs at Stillwater Creek Vineyard during a visit. Please raise a glass to our wonderful Maggie Clair and enjoy with a heaping helping of fun and adventure. Love you Mom!
