Delinquente Wines - Roko Il Vagabond - Montepulciano 2022
Delinquente Wines are a natural winemaking company based in the Riverland area of South Australia. They use minimal intervention in the winery, allowing wild, ambient yeasts to occur to start the fermentation process, using no chemical aids or preservatives and using minimal fining or filtering processes. They also source their grapes from local organic farmers. They make small batches of wine, focusing on quality over quantity, and use typical Italian grape varieties which thrive in this area of Australia due to their great resistance to drought. The wines are made to represent themselves and the 'sun, the red dirt and the uniquely Australian terroir of the Riverland.'
Roko Il Vagabond is made using 100% Montepulciano with a mixture of slightly earlier picked grapes and riper grapes. The result gives a greener edge to this red, with pronounced herbal, earthy flavours and aromas with grippy tannins and a zippy acidity. This is a great food wine, get a pizza and dig in.
