Delinquente makes small batch, minimal intervention wines from Southern Italian grape varieties grown in the Riverland, South Australia. Organically grown, minimal intervention, honest, hand-made wines that not only are great fun to drink, but represent the sun, the red dirt and the uniquely Australian terroir of the Riverland. The Riverland can be hot and dry, particularly through the vines' growing season. Therefore, they've chosen to work with Southern Italian grape varieties – varieties that are suited to the climate, need less water and are naturally drought resistant, are late ripening and retain natural acidity. In this way, they are more environmentally sustainable and allow them to make wines with lower alcohol levels but heaps of freshness and flavour.
