Sine Qua Non Noble Man 2005
This incredibly rich, sweet white is almost like the Quintessence bottlings from Alsace’s Domaine Weinbach. Its mind-boggling purity, balance, intensity, and sweetness are balanced by the wine’s zesty acidity. An amazing achievement fashioned from 100% botrytised fruit. RP 98 (2 bottles)
Sine Qua Non Mr K The Nobleman 2006
This wine reveals phenomenal fresh, lively acidity as well as wonderful honeyed peach, marmalade, tropical fruit, and creme brulee characteristics. It is a Trockenbeerenauslese-styled wine that is a fitting tribute to the effusive and much revered Alois Kracher. RP 96 (2 bottles)
Sine Qua Non Mr.KÂ Strawman Marsanne Vin de Paille 2005
This wine is made one-hundred percent Marsanne from the Beckmen Vineyard, with remarkably low alcohol (7.5%), a whopping 392 grams of residual sugar per liter, and exceptional acidity (6.4 grams of acid per liter), The individualistic, prodigious sweet wine is the products of meticulous attention to detail, obsessive harvesting requirements, and amazing vinifications and upbringings. This is an unbelievable elixir, and as complex and intense as any sweet wine made in the world. RP 100
Sine Qua Non Mr. K Strawman Marsanne Vin de Paille 2006
This wine is 100% Marsanne from the Beckmen Vineyard that boasts 240 grams of residual sugar per liter. A medium gold-colored effort, it reveals more marmalade notes interwoven with notions of maple syrup, honeysuckle, and exotic tropical fruits. While untuously-textured with remarkable sweetness, it is not cloying because of the fresh acids. RP 97
