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.

The Sine Qua Non Stein 2012 is an exceptional Grenache from California, bearing Manfred Krankl's uncompromising signature. The Sine Qua Non winery in Santa Barbara County is considered a cult address among connoisseurs – each bottling is produced only once, and each Vintage has its own name and label. The Stein 2012 comes from select parcels and was vinified with minimal intervention to capture the pure essence of the grape variety. Spontaneous fermentation and aging in French oak barrels give it structure without heaviness.
On the nose, a captivating bouquet of dark cherries, blackberries, and dried herbs unfolds, underpinned by notes of lavender, black pepper, and a hint of graphite. On the palate, the 2012 Sine Qua Non Stein reveals a silky texture, perfectly integrated acidity, and fine tannins. Layers of red fruit, spice, and mineral nuances alternate. The finish is impressively long and imbued with elegant freshness.
At Wine In Time, you'll find this collector's wine in limited quantities. Order your bottle online now and benefit from our express delivery to Vienna. Also, discover our selection of Red Wines and other premium Wines from California.
Decant the wine about an hour before serving and serve at 16–18 °C. It pairs perfectly with braised lamb, game, or aged hard cheese – a treat for special occasions.
