Founded in 1994 by Manfred and Elaine Krankl, Sine Qua Non is perhaps the most famous of all the California cult wineries and is renowned for producing exceptionally limited quantities of wines made from the classic varieties of the Rhône Valley. Even rarer still are their dry singular varietal Chardonnays, of which there have just been two releases. The 2012 Pearl Clutcher comes entirely from the highly acclaimed Bien Nacido vineyard and was aged for 19 months in 92% new French oak barrels. Just two barrels were produced.
