Established in 1994, Sine Qua Non is possibly one of the most famous Californian cult wineries. The creation of maverick winemaker, Manfred Krankl, this winery is world-famous for producing miniscule quantities of unique Rhône Valley-inspired wines using estate-grown and purchased fruit from some of the greatest vineyards across the Central Coast. Though well-known for their still wines, there have also been some incredibly rare releases of sweet wines. This is a wonderfully decadent, marmalade-tinged Roussanne produced by drying the grapes on straw mats in the classical vin de paille style. With 352g of residual sugar this is an incredibly rich wine but is superbly tempered by excellent acidity.
