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.
Each variety was picked and fermented separately. The final wine was blended and bottled just prior to the Nero d'Alova finishing ferment to create the Petillant Naturel style sparkling.
Style/Palate: We are happy with the result of our pink pet nat blending this year, the Nero d'Alova turning the good times up to 11 with that super bright red fruit cutting through the citrus, stonefruit push of the Vermentino. Hazy blush in the glass, the nose gives wonderful yeastiness, super clean, like walking into the kitchen while mum is baking fruit toast. The fine spritz just accentuates the fun vibes, a wine made for all-day and all-night crushing.
Aromas : super bright red fruit cutting through the citrus, stonefruit push of the Vermentino.
