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. 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 – and plenty of it too.
The Hell Series wines represent our experimentation with winemaking techniques, and allow the fruit to express different, unique and compelling characteristics.
A coming together of Italian and Portuguese varieties, the aim with this wine is to make a super splashy, light, funky shoulder season red that is as drinkable as hell, but has structure and depth to stand up to closer inspection. Picked early and treated simply, each parcel was vinified separately and in a completely unique way. Each variety was handpicked and whole bunch pressed to stainless steel tank for fermentation. Once sugar dry, the wine is sent to old French barriques for malo and maturation for about 8 months, before racking, a touch of SO2, and bottling.
Tasting Note : A wine that is all about drinkability. The Touriga made in a traditional red wine style, The Negroamaro made as a rose, The Vermentino pressed off straight away while the Malvasia was fermented on skins. Each element is completely different from the next, but works in harmony to make a super splashy, chillable and thirst quenching red-ish wine.
Aromas: Blackberry, Foral, Licorice.
