Sine Qua Non Naked Truth Grenache Magnum 2005 features a composition of 90% Grenache and 10% Syrah, crafted by winemaker Manfred Krankl. Sourced primarily from the Eleven Confessions estate vineyard in California, this wine was aged for 22 months in French oak barrels, resulting in an alcohol content of 15.6%. The magnum format encourages a slower oxygen exchange, preserving the wine`s floral notes and fruit vibrancy. Flavours include kirsch, lavender, and exotic spices, while its texture remains dense and velvety. This vintage is characterised by its concentration and structural depth, marking a pivotal point in the estate`s Grenache-focused production.
