Delinquente
Delinquente produces small-batch, minimal-intervention wines from Southern Italian grape varieties grown in the Riverland, South Australia. Rooted in their local heritage, they craft organic, hand-made wines that capture the unique Australian terroir. By choosing drought-resistant, late-ripening varieties, they ensure environmental sustainability and freshness. The name “Delinquente” reflects their rebellious spirit, with vibrant, hand-drawn labels by artist Jason Koen, embodying their distinctive approach and commitment to quality.
