These wines are praised to the skies by all the major critics. And yes, they deserve these global accolades! You read that right: Krankl. And you also combined it right! Nikolas is Manfred Krankl's (Sine Qua Non) son. If you believe that his wines are a simple copy of the SQN of the senior, then you are on the wrong track. Fingers Crossed has its own identity; the wines are constructed quite differently, have a different structure and thus a different texture. How are they different? Good question! I would say, quite casually, that they are a bit more “old world”, a bit more traditional – in the best sense of the word – without being a bit stale. On the contrary, perhaps because they are a bit more “old world”, they are almost a bit more avant-garde.
