Sine Qua Non To The Rescue Grenache Vin de Paille 2007 37.5CL

Sine Qua Non To The Rescue Grenache Vin de Paille 2007 is a remarkably rare dessert wine from Manfred Krankl, crafted with the inventive, uncompromising style that has made Sine Qua Non one of California’s most coveted producers. Made in the traditional vin de paille method, it offers exceptional concentration, intensity, and a luxurious sweetness that make it a true collector’s wine.

Tasting Notes
Deep golden in the glass, this wine opens with an enticing and layered bouquet of dried cherries, fig, caramelized orange peel, spice, honey, and a faint smoky-vanilla note from barrel ageing. On the palate it is dense, full-bodied, and deeply complex, with a velvety texture and striking acidity that lifts the natural sweetness and keeps the finish fresh, vivid, and exceptionally long. Its balance, concentration, and structure suggest excellent aging potential, and it will continue to gain nuance and savory depth over time for those fortunate enough to cellar it.

Production
The Grenache used for this wine comes from carefully selected Californian parcels and was harvested with extreme precision to ensure perfect ripeness and balance. After harvest, the grapes were dried on straw mats using the classic vin de paille technique to concentrate sugars and flavour before pressing and fermentation, followed by ageing in oak to add subtle spice and complexity.

Food & Serving
Best served slightly chilled, around 10–12°C, this wine pairs beautifully with blue cheese, foie gras, tarte Tatin, almond pastries, dried fruit desserts, or simply enjoyed on its own as a contemplative finish to a special meal. Decanting is generally not necessary, but a short aeration may help reveal its aromatic layers.

Producer
Sine Qua Non, founded by Manfred Krankl in California, has earned legendary status for its small-production, highly distinctive wines and artistic, nonconformist approach. The winery is widely regarded as one of the most influential cult producers in the United States, with a reputation built on rarity, precision, and repeated critical acclaim.
