Winemakers Comments :
2021 was the kindest vintage we have experienced in 9 years of Delinquente – a La Nina cycle bringing good spring rainfall, mild summer temperatures and cool crisp nights.Mild seasons that allow a lot of hang time on the vine allows good tannin and character development. Grapes even reached flavour ripeness before sugar ripeness.
The Bassham Family Organic and Biodynamic vineyard, bursting with natural vitality and life, took full advantage of Mother Nature’s gift and produced beautiful quality fruit – sweet, layered and with piercing acidity of it too.
The Montepulciano was harvested from two different patches on the Bassham Family Organic vineyard, on separate days about a week apart. Each pick was fermented separately and blended together just prior to bottling. The earlier pick carried a lovely tart acidity and green energy, usually associated with whole bunch fermented wines, while the later pick gives palate weight and the deeper fruit character for drinkability – the final blend bringing both parcels together in a really awesome way.
Style/Palate : The idea with this wine is to make an uncomplicated red wine that provides flavor and energy. The thick skins provides a lovely, dark purple color, and while the nose gives a feeling of power and intensity. The palate opens with a lovely, puckering fruit character, like a basket of freshly picked, may be slightly underripe, but delicious mixed berries. The finish brings that tannin and those grippy, savoury elements back into play, while the acid keeps the freshness and length going.
Aromas : delicious mixed berries (blueberries and red cherry)
Food Pairing : pasta, pizza, BBQ, Salt and Vinegar Pringles.
