Ready, but will keep,
Bob Lindquist turned a one-time hobby into a full-time job when, armed with a small bank loan, he established Qupé Vineyards in Santa Barbara County. Today he produces 20,000 cases a year. Lindquist specialises in Rhône-style wines and in 2015 received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Rhône Rangers organisation. He’s only the third to receive it, the other two being our other Californian friends – Randall Grahm (Bonny Doon) and Bob Haas (Tablas Creek).
A wonderful alternative to Chardonnay and superb food wine, this is full and rich, an extremely generous mouthful of apple, pineapple and pear. With notes of honey, nougat and vanilla, there is loads going on here, all bound together with balanced acidity. This screams “try me with shellfish”.

This vineyard was only planted in 2005 and is already demonstrating its potential and producing astonishingly delicious wines that are bound to age. The pepper and minerals define the nose and palate along with uplifting acidity, polished but firm tannins and a sense of refinement that defies the age of the vines.

The Bien Nacido Cuvee is a deliciously rich and aromatic blend of two-thirds Chardonnay and one-third Viognier.
In 2015 Bob Lindquist received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Rhone Rangers organisation. Only the third to receive it, the other two being our other Californian friends – Randall Grahm (Bonny Doon) and Bob Haas (Tablas Creek).
