Though best known for their high quality dry red and white wines, Manfred and Elaine Krankl of the highly acclaimed California cult winery, Sine Qua Non, also produce very limited quantities of sweet wine. The 2012 Shackled is a Vin de Paille style wine made from 100% Petit Manseng and it is the first wine from SQN which has had this southwestern French variety as the primary grape. The grapes were air dried for 30 days prior to fermentation and the wine was matured in 100% new French oak barrels of 34 months.

Sine Qua Non

Sine Qua Non

The wines of Sine Qua Non need little introduction. Mould breaking, iconoclastic, visionary are just some of the descriptors invoked when critics and wine lovers discuss this unique winery. Based in Ventura, north of LA, the wines of Sine Qua Non regularly notch up perfect scores from critics while the waiting list for a direct allocation is well over ten years.

Founded by Manfred and Elaine Krankl in the early 1990s, the duo swiftly gained attention from wine lovers and critics for their superb Rhône blend wines, quirky labels and uncompromising approach in the vineyard and cellar. The winery has experimented with producing Oregon Pinot Noir, dessert wines and an array of quirky single varietal reds and whites, but generally revert to producing the wines for which they are most famous - Grenache and Syrah. The wines are generally big and bold, but those who like things cranked up to eleven should look no further than Manfred's "extended barrel ageing" program.
