Sine Qua Non was officially founded in 1994 by Manfred and Elaine Krankl and rapidly garnered remarkable critical acclaim for their incredibly limited production wines made from classical Rhône Valley varieties. Though perhaps most famous for their red wines there have also been some exceptionally rare releases of rosé. El Corazon is a dry rosé made from Grenache.

The 1998 El Corazon Grenache Rosé represents a unique expression of Grenache, showcasing the versatility and depth of this varietal when crafted with exceptional skill. Made in a limited batch, this rosé is a rare find, embodying the ethos of Sine Qua Non's pursuit of perfection. The wine exhibits a delicate balance of red berry fruits, floral undertones, and a nuanced minerality. Its elegant structure and finish reflect the precise winemaking and a subtle expression of the Grenache varietal. N/A
