Qupe 2023 Chardonnay Santa Barbara County
A century-plus legacy in the cool Eastern Santa Barbara valleys, Qupe crafts this Chardonnay to showcase the region’s signature coastal elegance—blended from old-vine vineyards across Santa Maria (60%) and Sta. Rita Hills (40%) in sandy, gravelly soils. Qupe’s 2023 Chardonnay is a sophisticated nod to its coastal roots—vibrant citrus and tropical fruit flavors, creamy oak nuance, and refreshing acidity, all wrapped in a mineral-driven, breezy elegance.
🍋 Aromatics
Lifted notes of crisp green apple, lemon rind, and juicy pineapple mingle with toast, orange marmalade, and subtle honeysuckle—a lush, breezy California Chardonnay bouquet
👄 Palate & Texture
Bright and vibrant on the palate, with zesty citrus flavors of orange and lemon, framed by creamy brioche and warm oak. The wine is textured but refined, finishing long with mouthwatering acidity and mineral detail
🔚 Finish
Clean, focused, and lingering—carrying citrus zest, orchard fruit, baked bread, and a crisp, mineral edge that invites another sip
🌟 Why It Stands Out
A quintessential Santa Barbara Chardonnay—elegant yet expressive, balanced between fruit and oak, and crafted for both casual sips and pairing finesse
🍽️ Food Pairing
Team it up with goat cheese, oysters, shellfish, sushi, or a creamy risotto—food-friendly wines built for pairing shine here
