We’re looking back at Stags’ Leap Winery through the years to uncover what makes our estate such a uniquely special place. A lot has changed since the 1920s (like the kinds of cars in our driveway!)
Did You Know?
In 1941, Fred Grange fell in love with Olga Amparo de la Caridad Diaz y Dominguez while in Cuba on business. A whirlwind of a story, Amparo married Fred by proxy and relocated to Stags’ Leap Winery shortly after.
Amparo became renowned for her all-night salsa dance parties under a star-filled sky in the moon garden. In the winter, the parties were relocated to the wine cave.
Today, Amparo’s influence still echoes around the vineyard when we host parties, events, and celebrations, as well as through our Amparo Rosé, named in her honor.
A deep, pink watermelon hue, the Stags’ Leap Amparo Rosé regales the nose with a fanfare of lively maraschino cherry, wild strawberry, red currant, and pomegranate notes, elevated by fresh floral scents of rose petal and acacia blossom. Crisp with refreshing acidity, vibrant flavors of blood orange sorbet, Anjou pear, strawberry coulis, and pineapple play on the palate of this full-bodied rosé.
