Sine Qua Non E Raised Syrah 1998

Sine Qua Non is the creation of pioneering winemaker, Manfred Krankl, and is a world-famous cult winery revered for producing miniscule quantities of unique Rhône-inspired wines from some of the greatest vineyards across the Central Coast. Krankl’s wines always have a story to tell and the 1998 E-Raised Syrah was created in response to critics of the winery who had suggested his wines and quirky labels were merely gimmicks and that they needed to focus solely on the wine. With a uniquely blank label design, this is a sublime Syrah with intense dark fruit notes, now wonderfully complemented by savoury accents of woodsmoke, black pepper, espresso and griddled herbs.
