Sine Qua Non was founded in the early 90s by pioneering winemaker Manfred Krankl and rapidly became a world-famous winery revered for producing miniscule quantities of unique, but astonishingly high quality, Rhône Valley-inspired wines. `In The Abstract` is a rare white blend produced from 37% Chardonnay, 31% Roussanne, 16% Petite Manseng and 16% Viognier.

Awarded 95 points by the critic James Suckling, who describes the 2012 as follows, `A dense and lemony white with lemon curd, cooked apple and hints of cream. Full-bodied, very deep and oily. Long and flavorful. Back to the legendary style of SQN.`
