WINE DESCRIPTION
Delas Les Launes Crozes-Hermitage is a premium red wine produced by Delas Freres, a renowned winery in the Rhone Valley. The wine comes from the Crozes-Hermitage appellation, which is known for its exceptional Syrah grapes. The vineyards are located on steep slopes with granite and limestone soils, which impart unique flavors and aromas to the wine. The winemaking process involves careful selection of grapes, traditional fermentation, and aging in oak barrels to enhance the wine's complexity and structure. The resulting wine is full-bodied, with rich fruit flavors of blackberry and black cherry, complemented by spicy notes of pepper and licorice. It has a long, elegant finish that makes it a perfect match for grilled meats and hearty stews.

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.
