Description
2016 Qupe Roussanne Bien Nacido Hillside Estate – Santa Maria Valley White Wine
Experience the elegance of Central Coast winemaking with this 94-point rated Roussanne from Qupe Wine Cellars. Cultivated in the renowned Bien Nacido Vineyard of Santa Maria Valley, this 2016 vintage showcases why California’s cool-climate whites deserve global attention.
A Symphony of Flavors
Aged to perfection, this golden-hued white wine unfolds with layers of ripe apricot, almond marzipan, and candied lemon zest, balanced by delicate floral notes. The French oak influence adds a subtle creaminess without overpowering the wine’s natural vibrancy – a hallmark of Qupe’s restrained winemaking style.
Why Wine Enthusiasts Love It

- Food Versatility: Pairs beautifully with roasted poultry, creamy cheeses, or seafood paella
- Cellar-Worthy: Drinking beautifully now but will evolve through 2026+
