Delas Châteauneuf-du-Pape

Delas Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a robust and classic red wine from the southern Rhône Valley, produced by Maison Delas Frères. This iconic cuvée is crafted from a blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre, grown on ancient galet-roulés and sandy soils within the prestigious Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation. Grapes are hand-harvested, fermented in stainless steel and concrete vats, with gentle extraction before ageing in a combination of large oak foudres and demi-muids to enhance complexity and mouthfeel.

● Colour: Deep garnet-ruby with a purple rim. ● Aroma: Pronounced aromas of ripe red and blackberry fruit, complemented by notes of Provençal herbs, leather, cinnamon, black pepper and a hint of smoked cedar. ● Palate: Full-bodied and rich, with layers of dark cherry and plum, vibrant spice and smooth tannins. The mid-palate reveals elegant liquorice and tar nuances, balanced by fresh acidity and a long, savoury finish.
