2022 Delinquente 'Weeping Juan' Pet Nat

The party is back! Hazy pink in the glass, lush, sweet aromatic spices jump out up front – vanilla, cinnamon, coconut – mum’s fruit toast is where I always go with this wine and it’s here again. On the palate is underripe strawberry, with a fuji apple, watermelon rind cleanness and crunch. Just a mild spritz this year and a touch of fruit sweetness is balance by the lovely crunchy acidity – the two working together to provide a length that goes on and on. Hot day, ice cold, by a body of water – you can drink nothing better.

Sourced from the Bassham Family Organic and Biodynamic vineyard in Barmera, each variety was picked and fermented separately - the final wine blended and bottled just prior to the Nero d’Avola finishing ferment to create the Petillant Naturel style sparkling.
