Delinquente - Roxanne the Razor NND 2024
From the Winemaker: Vintage 2024 was just about the perfect vintage. Warm but not too hot, and bone dry during the growing season, was welcome change from the past couple of years, allowing the fruit to ripen steadily. Meanwhile, cool nights kept acids and freshness high. With decent yields across the board, we had flexibility in our winemaking, selecting the best parcels and blending to make a suite of wines we are super stoked with, and excited to share with the world. Wild fermented in stainless steel, each variety is were picked and fermented separately –6 or 7 days before being pressed off, with blending just prior to bottling.
A return to the light but brooding Roxanne of old, the nose opens savoury earthiness – truffled mushroom powder and coffee. Sour cherry pops on the palate alongside a darker berry feel. There is tannin and structure – a meaty savouriness – but it is still effortlessly light and refreshing, and takes a chill like a pro.

Region: Riverland, South Australia, Australia
Grape: 70% Negroamaro, 30% Nero d'Avola
