Next of Kyn is a special project within the Sine Qua Non portfolio, focusing on estate-grown wines from the Cumulus Vineyard. The IX (number 9) in the name indicates that this is the ninth release of the Next of Kyn series. The blend usually consists of Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre, and other Rhône varietals, but the exact composition may vary slightly between vintages. This particular edition features notes of dark fruits, spices and savoury elements, with a full-bodied structure and a long finish. Available here in a magnum format.

The Sine Qua Non Next of Kyn IX Magnum 2015 is a masterful blend primarily composed of Syrah, showing depth, complexity, and elegance. This vintage showcases the expressive character of the estate's Cumulus Vineyard, featuring rich layers of dark fruit, spices, and impeccable balance. Layers of ripe blackberries, plums, violets, and pepper, with hints of earth and chocolate, leading to a long, luscious finish.

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