WINE DESCRIPTION

Delas Haute Pierre Châteauneuf-du-Pape is produced by Delas Frères, a renowned negociant throughout the Rhône Valley, for their legacy of high quality production. This wine comes from the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation, which is known for its exceptional terroir and ideal growing conditions for Grenache and Syrah. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including hand-harvesting and aging in old oak barrels, resulting in a full-bodied and complex wine with notes of baked sour cherry, liquorice, and pepper.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Delas Haute Pierre Châteauneuf-du-Pape exhibits the pronounced concentration of flavour and a long finish that is the hallmark of a quality wine.Although full bodied with velvety tannins the baked sour cherry fruit has a matching intensity and the liquorice spice lingers on the finish. Enjoy now or cellar for up to 10 years.

ORIGINS

Winery: Delas

Region: Rhone

The Rhone wine region is located in southeastern France. It runs along the Rhone River roughly from Lyon in the north to Avignon in the south. It is divided into two main sub-regions: the Northern Rhone, running from Lyon to Montelimar, and the Southern Rhone, from Montelimar to Avignon. Although wines of all color are made, both regions are most famous for thier red wine. The Northern Rhone is known for its full-bodied red wines made from Syrah grapes with the possible inclusion of some white grapes, while the Southern Rhone is known for its blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The region has a long history of wine production, dating back to the ancient Romans with the sites of some former Roman vineyards being replanted surrounding the town of Vienne.
