Sine Qua Non- Spring 2025 Offering

Sine Qua Non is one of the most sought-after and cult-status wineries in the world, known for its rare, Rhône-style wines crafted with meticulous attention to detail. Founded by Manfred and Elaine Krankl in California, SQN is celebrated for its ever-changing blends, artistic labels, and an uncompromising commitment to quality. Each vintage is a unique expression of creativity, making their wines nearly impossible to find and highly coveted by collectors.

In the mid-2000s, Manfred shifted toward estate-grown fruit, planting their own vineyards—most notably Eleven Confessions in the Sta. Rita Hills, followed by The Third Twin in Los Alamos and others. This move allowed them greater control over farming practices and quality, further refining their signature style. Today, nearly all SQN wines come from their estate vineyards, marking a shift from their early days of vineyard sourcing to a more self-sustained and terroir-driven approach.

We were able to secure a selection of library offerings to help offset the smaller allocations of the current release.
