The brand-new Sine Qua Non Distenta III Grenache is a blend of 79% Grenache, 8.4% Syrah, 7.4% Mourvèdre, 3.2% Petite Sirah, 0.4% Gelber Muskateller and 1.6% Petit Manseng. Exuding a deep burgundy hue, the wine boasts a vibrant and rich aroma profile featuring fresh currants, cranberries, pomegranate, blackberries, cherries, and roses. Subtle hints of dried herbs and black pepper add complexity. The palate is both smooth and energetically dynamic, combining density with a delicate touch. Silky tannins lead to an enduring, pie crust-like finish. With aeration, layers unfold, revealing a saline ocean breeze quality and hints of citrus blossom. Presented here in a stunning magnum format.

Now in bottle, the 2021 Grenache Distenta III is every bit as magnificent as it was last year. Savory and wildly dynamic in the glass, the 2021 impresses with its energy and overall vibrancy. Dark-toned fruit, lavender, spice and cooling mineral notes all build in this statuesque, dazzling Grenache. The blend is 79% Grenache, 8.4% Syrah, 7.4% Mourvèdre, 3.2% Petite Sirah and 2% Muscat and Petit Manseng. The 35% whole clusters (mostly on the Grenache) add dimension.Antonio Galloni1st August 2024

Art and Fine Wine Collide

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.
