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 Line
The Sine Qua Non The Line 2008 is a tribute to the art of Grenache winemaking. Manfred Krankl's iconic Californian winery stands for uncompromising quality and highly sought-after limited production – and this Vintage of California Wines impressively demonstrates why Sine Qua Non is among America's iconic producers.
Manfred Krankl, a native Austrian and visionary winemaker, cultivates some of California's finest vineyards with meticulous precision. The 2008 The Line comes from select parcels where the poor soils impart concentration and structure to the Grenache grape. Spontaneous fermentation, extended maceration, and aging in French oak barrels result in a wine of exceptional complexity. Each bottle is numbered by hand – a testament to its exclusivity.
The nose unfolds with opulent aromas: dark cherries, blackberries, and figs meld with notes of licorice, tobacco, and Provençal herbs. On the palate, the 2008 Sine Qua Non The Line is dense, velvety, and remarkably deep. The perfectly integrated acidity effortlessly carries the ripe fruit, while fine-grained tannins provide structure without harshness. The finish is long, multifaceted, and characterized by elegant minerality.
