Bought on release from Weingut Kracher.
Though most famous for their dry red and white wines, between 1998 and 2006 Sine Qua Non also made a range of sweet wines in collaboration with famed Austrian winemaker, Alois Kracher. This is a Vin de Paille style wine made from 100% Semillon grapes dried on straw mats.
Awarded 99pts from Robert Parker
"The 1998 Mr. K. Semillon Vin de Paille is a low alcohol (7.5%) effort whose grapes were pressed when they ranged between 57-59 brix, almost unheard of numbers. It was fermented on indigenous yeasts for 15 months, and then bottled."
