WINE DESCRIPTION

Delas Marquise de La Tourette Hermitage Rouge is a premium red wine produced by Delas Frères, a renowned winery in the Rhône Valley. The wine is made from grapes grown in the Hermitage appellation, which is known for its steep, terraced vineyards and granite soils. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation and aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is full-bodied and complex, with aromas of dark fruit, spice, and earthy notes. It has a rich, velvety texture and a long, lingering finish. This wine is a great choice for those who appreciate the unique character and terroir of the Hermitage appellation.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Delas Marquise de La Tourette Hermitage Rouge is an excellent example of a Northern Rhone syrah.It offers a full and intense bouquet of dark cherries, blackberry, and currant, with hints of pepper, licorice, and leather. The palate is full-bodied with firm tannins and a spicy, earthy finish. The wine is well-balanced and complex, and should age gracefully for at a few years. An impressive Hermitage that should be enjoyed with friends and family.

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.
