Created in 1994 by Manfred and Elaine Krankl, Sine Qua Non is arguably the most famous of all the California cult wineries and is renowned for exceptionally limited quantities of red and white wines made from the classic Rhône Valley varieties. From the millennium vintage comes a 100% Roussanne sourced from the highly acclaimed Stolpman and Alban Vineyards.

The 2000 vintage of The Hussy Roussanne by Sine Qua Non is a full-bodied white wine that showcases the depth and complexity of the Roussanne grape. Renowned for its unique flavor profile, it presents a palate of ripe fruits, honey, and mineral notes, balanced with a refreshing acidity. Ripe pear, honeydew melon, beeswax, and hint of citrus zest, with a minerally finish. Elegantly balanced with a lush texture.

A collection notable for Rhône variety wines with a cult following, characterized by their rarity, unique labeling, and exceptional quality.
