Delinquente makes small batch, minimal intervention wines from Southern Italian grape varieties grown in the Riverland, South Australia.They were born and raised in the Riverland, surrounded by vineyards and the mighty Murray River. Delinquente is an attempt at making the best wine possible from the place where the owners grew up. Organically grown, minimal intervention, hand-made wines that not only look great and are fun to drink, but that also represent the sun, the red dirt and uniquely Australian terroir of the Riverland.
750 mlFrom Delinquente: "This wine is our attempt at essentially trying to emulate a light, cool climate red, with Negroamaro and Nero d’Avola being the perfect varieties for the task. The nose this year has a certain intensity – perfumed olive tapenade richness and savouriness belies the lightness on the palate. Fruit forward up front – maraschino cherry, spiced plum and quince – makes way for second half of lovely earthy, amaro-esque savouriness; cola berry/chinotto characters with a burnt orange undertone. These bitter, herbaceous moments work in tandem with the elevated, juicy fruit, held together by a touch of fuzzy tannin and grippy mouthfeel, to make a very, very drinkable, medium bodied red"
