The story behind one of our most-loved w**es, The Max. 🍷
Did you know that The Max was named after a rather special member of the Stony Brook family?
Max was the McNaught family’s beloved Jack Russell, who joined the family in 2003. Small in size but certainly not in personality, Max was bold, full of character and a familiar face around the farm and tasting room for 15 years.
When the McNaught family created their first Bordeaux-style blend in 2004, it seemed only fitting to name it after him. Much like its namesake, The Max was made to be bold, memorable and full of character.
Although Max passed away in 2018, his legacy lives on in every bottle. 🐶🍷
