Tom Rodrigues and Linda Stutz are the owners of Maple Creek. Rodrigues is also the winemaker and created the winery’s labels. He calls his production “Artevino” and it truly is a blend of art and wine.
Rodrigues makes a nice Reserve Chardonnay that was aged for just enough time in oak. It has toasty and vanilla flavors. He also makes a wine with the Symphony grape which is a cross between Grenache Gris and Muscat of Alexandria. This is a very floral wine with ripe tropical flavors. It is made in an off dry style.
Maple Creek makes another very interesting wine with Primitivo grapes. It is made as a rose with a bit of residual sugar. Primitivo is a red grape that is related to Zinfandel. Rodrigues allows the must to macerate in the skins for a short time to give this wine its light red color.
The Artevino Cowboy Red is a full bodied blend of Zinfandel, Merlot, and Carignane. This wine will stand up to very hearty foods.
