Fermented Flight Club Takeover: Delinquente Wine Co.

You are invited on Friday, September 16th, from 6:00-8:00pm as we are joined by Con-Greg Grigoriou from Delinquente Wine Co.! Hailing from Riverland, Austrailia, Delinquente Wine Co. was born out of a lightbulb moment where Con-Greg Grigoriou, who had wandered far from the family business growing grapes and making wine, saw a possibility in his region that he hadn’t imagined possible. What followed was a deep investigation into varieties and methods that suited the hot climate of the Riverland. Today, Grigoriou makes a range of Southern Italian varieties, with a key focus on bright fruit and detailed but uncomplicated drinkability.

Like many winemakers, Grigoriou travelled the world before settling down to make his own wine and launch his own label. The thing is, Grigoriou wasn’t making wine on his travels, drinking it sure, but his background growing up on a vineyard in South Australia’s Riverland didn’t remotely foster in him a desire to make the stuff. “Then I tasted wines that spoke to me. Small production, wild wines from organically grown vineyards that were super refreshing and really fun to drink. I gave it a crack myself,” he says. That was 2013. With a tonne each of vermentino and montepulciano made in a corner of a 20,000-tonne winery in the Riverland, Delinquente Wine Co. was born.

You won't wanna miss this chance to drink through and learn about Austrailia's new and exciting wines!
