If you look outside the mainstream sea ofbigwinetheres a whole lot more going in Australia thanblockbuster Shiraz and supercharged Chardonnay. Con-Greg, winemaker atDelinquente, uses Italian grape varieties well suited to theMediterranean climate of the Riverland region to make fun, juicy, and delicious wines. Theyre not simple by any means but they are super enjoyable, or as Con-Greg puts it,smashable. The typically irreverent and eye-catching labels are by Adelaide street artist Ankles.
The lesser known Puglian grape, Bianco d\'Alessano and this is the only planting ofthese grape in Aus. A soft sparkly pet nat that has fermented to dry in the bottle, expect bags of tropical fruit delights.
