The wine is made from grapes grown in the Sawyer Lindquist Vineyard, which is located in the Edna Valley appellation.

The winemaking process involves minimal intervention, with the grapes being fermented using natural yeasts and aged in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is a complex and elegant expression of Grenache, with notes of red fruit, spice, and earthy undertones. It is a perfect choice for those who appreciate high-quality, artisanal wines with a sense of place.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Qupé Grenache Sawyer Lindquist Vineyard is an excellent expression of the classic Grenache grape.On the nose, there are aromas of ripe cranberry, raspberry, and a hint of black pepper. On the palate, this wine has a medium body that is full of flavor and balanced acidity. The flavors are of ripe cherry, blackberry, and a hint of licorice. The finish is smooth and long with a subtle hint of minerality. Overall, this is a delicious, well-crafted Grenache.

ORIGINS

Winery: Qupé

Region: Central Coast California

The Central Coast of California is a wine lover's paradise, boasting a wide variety of climates, soils, and grape varieties. Located between San Francisco and Los Angeles, the Central Coast spans from Monterey County in the north to Santa Barbara County in the south. With its diverse topography and Mediterranean climate, the Central Coast is home to some of the most renowned wineries in the United States. The Central Coast has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The first vineyards were planted in the Santa Clara Valley, and by the late 1800s, the region was producing some of the finest wines in the country. The region's reputation for quality wines was further solidified in the early 1989, when the Santa Clara Valley was declared among the first American Viticultural Area (AVA) in the United States.
