Description

What an absolutely smashable, super aromatic and skinsy white blend from the Riverland! Organic grapes, minimal intervention, and plenty to love.

Winemaker (and chief "delinquente") Con-Greg Grigoriou is all about the lesser-known and super tasty Mediterranean grapes that thrive in Riverland wine country around the Murray. He sources grapes from organic growers, and treats them with care and lo-fi winemaking.

This is Fiano, Arinto and Malvasia Bianco from the Bassham family organic vineyard.  All wild yeasts with each varietal fermented separately with varying levels of skin contact. 

It's a tropical party in your mouth, with lovely saltiness and bitterness keeping thingsn in check. Great fun and as always, great value.

The combination of fruit forward, acid driven and aromatic varieties, combined with extended skin contact, creates a wine that is at once thought provoking, interesting, but also refreshing and delicious. Peach and nectarine with a rose blossom flourish on the nose gives way to grassy freshness upfront, then a dry crunch like a salty jatz, before a crazy pineapple/lychee tropical hit at the end. So fun to drink.

Fiano, Arinto and Malvasia Bianco from the Bassham family organic vineyard in Barmera, SA.

The Bianco Macerato is an easy drinking, approachable skin contact white wine. Each parcel was fermented separately – the Fiano is pressed off skins straight away, while the other parcels were fermented on skins for 6 nights. Each parcel was allowed to go through malolactic fermentation and settle out before being blended just prior to bottling.

Delinquente

Con-Greg Grigoriou makes interesting yet smashable wines from some unique fruit growing in the Riverlands.

Organically farmed in one of Australia's 'engine room' regions, these warm-climate alternative varieties offer a much more sustainable long-term proposition for our hotter, drier regions. Greg is right at the front of the pack of Australian producers championing these varieties.

His wines are all about fun times and chilled vibes. Bright, energetic and full of personality, these wines offer a great entry point for people looking to explore emerging varieties at a great price.
