From a blend of 33% Chardonnay, 27% Viognier, 24% Gelber Muskateller, 12% Roussanne, and 4% Petit Manseng, this white wine is produced by renowned winemaker Manfred Krankl. Sourced from Eleven Confessions, The Third Twin, and Cumulus estate vineyards in California, the 2022 vintage exhibits a distinctive character shaped by its fruit sources. With an alcohol content of 15.5%, it undergoes a 21-month ageing process in a mix of French oak, concrete eggs, and stainless steel. The resulting profile reveals primary notes of apricots, honeysuckle, and lychee, underpinned by the Muscat`s floral nuances, which provide a delicate balance to the weighty Rhône components.
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.
