Sine Qua Non Estate Grenache Patine 2013

Sine Qua Non Estate Grenache Patine 2013 is a beautifully expressive California Grenache that showcases Manfred Krankl’s signature blend of precision, depth, and individuality.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, Patine 2013 shows a clear ruby-red color that hints at both vibrancy and elegance. The nose is richly layered with ripe red berries, wild herbs, flowers, baking spices, and a subtle touch of toasted oak and mineral nuance. The palate is full-bodied yet graceful, with silky tannins, fresh acidity, and a textured, multi-dimensional profile that unfolds gradually. It finishes long and refined, and while it is already compelling now, it should continue to develop beautifully over the coming years.

Production
This wine comes from Sine Qua Non’s estate vineyards in California, where Grenache is farmed with extremely low yields to maximize concentration, purity, and finesse. The site-driven approach and meticulous vineyard work are central to the wine’s balance of power and elegance, with vinification aimed at preserving freshness, complexity, and the grape’s natural perfume.

Food & Serving
This Grenache is a superb match for lamb, grilled duck, herb-crusted pork, roasted game birds, or rich Mediterranean dishes with rosemary and olive oil. Serve it slightly below room temperature, around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours to let the layers of aroma and texture fully open.

Producer
Sine Qua Non, founded by Manfred Krankl in California, has become one of the most cult-followed and influential producers in the United States. Known for small-production, highly individual wines and a relentless pursuit of quality, the estate has earned a legendary reputation for wines that are both intensely expressive and highly collectible.
