Qupé Wine Cellars is located on the Bien Nacido Vineyard in
Santa Maria, California . Focusing on fruit grown in the Central Coast Appellation of California, Qupé produces Rhone varietals and Chardonnay. A majority of Qupé’s wines (about 50%) are made from grapes grown on the Bien Nacido Vineyard, where the Syrah and Chardonnay are planted and grown to Bob’s specifications. The balance of the Qupé wines are made from grapes grown at various vineyards in the
Central
Coast appellation of
California. Bob and his wife Louisa have recently purchased an 80 acre vineyard site in the
Edna
Valley which they began planting in the spring of 2005. This vineyard will be developed and farmed under the rigorous principles of Biodynamic Farming.
