Rich and amber-hued, this dessert wine offering from cult winery, Sine Qua Non is crafted from 100% botrytized Viognier. Harvested at 42 brix, it's a remarkable elixir that offers up notes of ripe apricot, orange marmalade, mace and vanilla. Concentrated, waxy and viscous. There is enough acidity to bolster hedonistic flavors of bruised pear, golden raisin, clover honey and whole cloves on the finish. Ample spice notes gather like an impending storm on the tip of the tongue. Exotic and very memorable. — 10 years ago
The golden colour with its creamy buttery nutty aroma still draws me in like the 2011 bottle did. The peach and melon flavours became the backbone of its savoury and slightly smokey characters. The sweet sensation from its high alcohol content makes tasting this wine almost like eating a pudding with a layer of caramel - like the Taiwanese's favourite Tong Yi pudding if you have ever had it. — 10 years ago

Really nice and round. Nice oak and golden raisin, peach and floral notes on the palate, really nice peach aromas, also a slight minerality on the back end. Really well done! Slightly buttery too. — 11 years ago

Love it when out of town regulars can't take open bottles with them! Littorai is always a treat! Dense core of golden fruit, floral spices, flinty smoke, butterscotch. — 11 years ago
