Delinquente Wine Co., Hell Malvasia Riverland 2018

From Con-Greg: Malvasia Bianco is grown throughout central and Southern Italy - an aromatic, sweet fruited variety that thrives in the heat and produces big bunches with even bigger, juicy berries. A variety perfectly suited to the Riverland. This wine is fermented in three separate components - 1/3 as a direct press juice ferment, 1/3 fermented on skins for 4 nights, then pressed off, and the final 1/3 fermented on skins until sugar dry, about 12 days. Each component is aged separately in old French barriques for 8 months, before being blended together and bottled with nothing added except a touch of SO2.

Con-Greg Grigoriou's mission is simple. He is trying to make interesting yet smashable wines from some unique organic fruit growing in the Riverlands. This stuff is all about fun times and chilled wines. Bright, energetic and full of personality, these wines offer a great entry point for people looking to explore alternative varieties.
