Delinquente Wines are a natural winemaking company based in the Riverland area of South Australia. They use minimal intervention in the winery, allowing wild, ambient yeasts to occur to start the fermentation process, using no chemical aids or preservatives and using minimal fining or filtering processes. They also source their grapes from local organic farmers. They make small batches of wine, focusing on quality over quantity, and use typical Italian grape varieties which thrive in this area of Australia due to their great resistance to drought. The wines are made to represent themselves and the 'sun, the red dirt and the uniquely Australian terroir of the Riverland.'
The Weeping Juan is a pink pet nat made using a blend of Nero D'Avola and Vermentino. Abundant in sweet spice aromas of cinnamon, vanilla and coconut which mingle with crisp fruit flavours of juicy red apple, ripe watermelon and fresh strawberry. This is a fruity and juicy pet nat, but the acidity and a certain edge to the primary flavours really makes this extremely thirst quenching and moreish.
