Producers: Sine Qua Non

Sine Qua Non is much more than a winery. Sine Qua Non is THE cult vineyard from California. Sine Qua Non is the embodiment of a boutique winery. Sine Qua Non is the figurehead of the Rhone-Rangers movement. The makers Manfred and Elaine Krankl are emigrants from Upper Austria. After Manfred has also highly successful cared about a high-end bakery and an Italian top restaurant, he then started in 1994 the adventure of fine wine cultivation. Since then, blockbusters have lined up after more blockbusters like precious pearls on a necklace. On the one hand, the grapes for Sine Qua Non's mystical wines come from the in-house Eleven Confessions Vineyard, on the other hand, they are purchased from other top locations. The wines from the vicinity of Ojai are extremely rare. Just 4000 cases are launched each year. Sine Qua Non is a Parker superstar! So no less than 21 (!) Wines have the full 100 Parker points in their account.
