About the manufacturer
Sine Qua Non
Sine Qua Non is a California winery from Paso Robles, renowned for its unconventional and extremely limited productions. The founder and winemaker follows a radical philosophy: each bottle is a work of art, each Vintage an experiment with its own name and often its own design.
You won't find any standard Wines here. Sine Qua Non works with unusual grape blends and boldly experiments with vinification and style. Wines like "The Hated Hunter" or "Kolibri" are an expression of this artistic freedom – intense, complex, and often polarizing. The winery deliberately produces in tiny quantities, making these Wines highly sought-after collector's items.
Quality is non-negotiable. Despite the playful approach, the Wines produced possess great depth and aging potential, offering a unique interpretation of the Californian terroir. Each bottling tells a story and challenges you to reconsider your expectations of taste.
At Wine In Time you will find a curated selection of these rare treasures – for all those who dare to drink beyond the ordinary.

Red Handed
The 1995 Sine Qua Non Red Handed marks a milestone in the history of the legendary Californian winery. With this early Vintage from California , Manfred Krankl created a blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre that continues to set standards. This collector's item from Sine Qua Non's early years impressively demonstrates why the winery became a cult label.
The vinification followed Krankl's uncompromising philosophy: low yields, meticulous hand-harvesting, and aging in French barriques. The 1995 Sine Qua Non Red Handed benefited from an exceptional Vintage that favored the intensity and concentration of the grapes. The blend combines the spicy depth of Syrah with the silky fruit of Grenache and the structural power of Mourvèdre.
On the nose, a complex bouquet of dark berries, cassis, and blackberry unfolds, underpinned by notes of lavender, black pepper, and Mediterranean herbs. The palate reveals a rich fullness with a velvety texture, ripe fruit, and perfectly integrated acidity. Nuances of tobacco, leather, and dark chocolate accompany the long, elegant finish. At 13,5% alcohol, this wine retains remarkable finesse despite its power.
