Delinquente Wine Co. Pretty Boy 2024
Type: Rosé Wine (Natural / Organic / Minimal Intervention)
Region: Riverland, South Australia, Australia
Grapes: 100% Nero d’Avola
Alcohol ABV: 11%
Tasting Profile and Key Notes
Aroma:
A vibrant and aromatic rosé with expressive notes of candied strawberry, red cherry, raspberry, and rose petals. Hints of cream, citrus peel, and delicate floral tones add complexity, giving the wine a playful yet elegant character. The Nero d’Avola brings a distinctive Sicilian-inspired profile with bright red fruit aromas and a refreshing aromatic lift.
Palate:
Light-bodied, fresh, and crunchy with flavours of strawberry, cranberry, redcurrant, and white peach. Bright acidity keeps the wine energetic, while a gentle phenolic texture adds subtle grip and structure. The finish is clean, juicy, and refreshing, with a lovely balance between ripe fruitiness and savoury freshness.
Winemaking
The Nero d’Avola grapes are hand-picked and wild fermented in stainless steel tanks using indigenous yeasts. After crushing, the grapes undergo a short 6-hour skin soak to extract the delicate blush pink colour before fermentation. The wine is bottled with minimal intervention, preserving the natural freshness, vibrant fruit character, and drinkability of the variety.
Farming
The grapes are sourced from organically farmed vineyards in the Riverland, South Australia, a warm and dry region well suited to Mediterranean varieties such as Nero d’Avola. Delinquente Wine Co focuses on sustainable farming and drought-resistant southern Italian grapes, allowing the vines to thrive naturally while maintaining freshness and balance in the finished wine.
