ABOUT THIS WINE
The Tuff Nutt Bianco Pet Nat by Delinquente Wine Co is a unique Australian sparkling wine from the Riverland, South Australia. It is made from 100% Bianco d'Alessano, a grape variety with its only Australian planting in the region. Delinquente Wine Co, founded by Greg Grigoriou, is known for its 'delinquent' approach, focusing on organic, minimal-intervention wines from Southern Italian varietals. The 2025 vintage was influenced by a hot, dry growing season, resulting in a vibrant and punchy wine. This Pet Nat is a small-batch offering, bottled with minimal intervention to capture the essence of the grape and the region.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Tuff Nutt Bianco Pet Nat is produced using the Pétillant Naturel (Pet Nat) method. Grapes are fermented in stainless steel with wild yeast. The wine is then bottled under a crown seal to complete its fermentation, creating natural carbonation. This process is characterized by minimal intervention, with no fining or filtering, preserving the wine's natural character and texture. The wine is made to be drunk young and fresh, without any aging.
