2023 Delinquente Tuff Nut Pet Nat

100% Bianco D'Alessano The Sherwood Estate in Loxton North, owned by the Proud family, has the only planting of Bianco d’Alessano in Australia – a late ripening, aromatic variety that holds acid beautifully and is completely at home in the hot dry Riverland climate. Clean, crisp and refreshing with light, persise bubbles! The Duckman wines express the true character of Bairrada’s indigenous varietals and its exceptional maritime influence. Maria Pato, the daughter of Luis Pato, created this project because of her love of the Portuguese region, working exclusively with native varietals.

From 25 year old vines planted to several plots of chalky-clay soils, within two sites called São Lourenço and Óis do Bairro. The grapes are vineyard sorted with hand-harvesting at the end of August. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel, lasts for three weeks and is vinified using the traditional method.
