WINE DESCRIPTION

A Cappella is one of the flagship wines of Sine Qua Non and is a red blend, typically made from a combination of Rhône-style grape varietals, such as Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvèdre, though the specific blend may vary from vintage to vintage. The wine is known for its unique style, characterized by its powerful and complex flavors, rich texture, and impressive aging potential. The name "A Cappella" is a musical term that means "without accompaniment" and reflects the winery's philosophy of letting the vineyard and the grapes express themselves naturally, without heavy-handed winemaking techniques. The wine is produced in limited quantities and is highly sought-after by collectors and wine enthusiasts alike, often commanding high prices at auction.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Sine Qua Non A Cappella is a delicious and complex blend of Syrah, Grenache and Mourvedre.The nose offers aromas of dried cherries, black currants, and a hint of smoke, while the palate shows notes of plums, licorice, and baking spices. The tannins are firm but ripe, and the finish is long and smooth. This is an excellent wine that can be enjoyed now or cellared for years to come.
