La Cave Noire: Quick Pour — JAYBIRD BIANCO MACERATO (Australia)




What can we say about Delinquente Wine. Their line up is always a joy. The hand drawn artwork, the energy behind every bottle, the way they approach natural wine with ease and honesty. We have been drinking them for a while and felt it was time to start sharing some of our favourites.


Delinquente is based in South Australia, working mostly with family growers in the Riverland. The winemaker, Greg Grigoriou, has built a name by championing Italian varieties in a part of Australia most people overlook. He keeps things simple. Small batches, wild ferments, low intervention, all with a real respect for the land and the First Nations people who cared for it long before vineyards existed. There is nothing glossy about their approach. It is humble work that shows in the glass.


Jaybird Bianco Macerato is fresh and bright from the first pour. Citrus and soft fizz on the tongue. A rush of lemon sherbet. A little apricot. A little funk but nothing wild. A gentle mineral note that lingers just enough. It is easy and fun and disappears far quicker than expected. Pair it with an Asian style salad or sweet spicy chicken tossed with oranges and you will see what we mean.


A young and lively take on natural wine that keeps us coming back. If you are just getting into natural wine this is a perfect place to start. You will not be disappointed.

Location: Brighton, Brighton and Hove, UK

Our Story: The Beginning of La Cave Noire

-
Our Story: La Cave Noire When you stumble across a great bottle of natural wine, something happens. It is alive, unpredictable, and a little bit wild. That is what drew us in. La Cave Noire is more than a bar we are opening in Brighton & Hove. It is the result of two paths crossing. Meet Reza With a background in design and a love for atmosphere, Reza has always believed that spaces should tell stories. For him, wine is not just about taste. It is about the environment it creates, the feeling of gathering around a table, the energy of conversation, and the details that make a night unforgettable. Meet Tio Tio’s journey began in hospitality where she learned that the best moments come from genuine connection. Natural wine felt like an extension of that philosophy. Honest, unfiltered, and meant to be shared. Why Natural Wine We have both been captivated by how natural wine challenges expectations. It is vibrant, sometimes funky, and always expressive of the people an...

La Cave Noire: Quick Pour - Serragghia Bianco Zibibbo Vino Secco — 2023 (Italy)

La Cave Noire: Quick Pour - Serragghia Bianco Zibibbo Vino Secco — 2023 (Italy) This one feels a little special. Not to take away from the others in the series, every bottle we feature earns its place, but this is the kind of wine we would open for a moment. A touch higher in price, yes, but worth it for the occasion. These bottles rarely stay on the shelf for long. If you see one, it is probably the last. That silver arrow label stops you in your tracks, the small 1/600 near the neck. We were curious from the start. Made by Gabrio Bini at Azienda Agricola Serragghia on the volcanic island of Pantelleria, just southwest of Sicily. 100 percent Zibibbo, fermented with native yeasts and macerated on skins for months in buried terracotta amphorae. No filtration, no additives, no shortcuts, a raw and expressive orange wine that mirrors the island’s rugged landscape. Notes of orange blossom, dried apricot, wild herbs, and sea spray. Textured, saline, and endlessly fresh. This is a wine that ...
