Delinquente Wine Co.
Australia
Rule breaking and boundary pushing is in the name for Greg Grigoriou's Delinquente Wine Co.
Delinquente makes small batch, minimal intervention wines with Southern Italian grape varieties organically grown in their native Riverland, South Australia. In flavour and personality, their super fun wines represent the uniquely Australian terroir of the Riverland in all its dry red dirt glory for an original take on Australian winemaking.
Delinquente has made the most of the hot and dry Australian growing season in their choice of drought resistant grape varieties, like Screaming Betty's Vermentino and Roko il Vagabondo's Montepulciano, suited to the climate for a more sustainable farming practice. All the while, Delinquente wines keep a refreshing natural acidity with bags of juicy flavour that matches the unique aesthetic of local artist Ankles' hand drawn labels featuring characters that tell a story of independence and resistance.
