Made using part appassimento method. Vibrant purple colour and a rich luscious nose full of sweet ripe dark cherry, plum, vanilla and christmas spice. Rich and velvety, with lots of juicy fruit. Very easy drinking. Great wine for roasted and grilled meats. Ideal with game dishes. Excellent with mature hard cheeses. 

Before picking, the ripe grapes are left on the vines for up to 15 days. The grapes begin to dry naturally on the vine (appassimento). The grapes are then carefully hand harvested before being pressed. After fermentation the wine is aged in oak for 3-4 months. This careful and prolonged winemaking delivers a wine of excellent quality and depth, yet at a snip of a price.

Crafted by winemaker Jacques Grange (who is originally from Burgundy), the wines from Delas Freres epitomise finesse and elegance. Recent vintages from the vineyards of Hermitage, Crozes-Hermitage, Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Côte Rôtie, Condrieu, Côtes-du-Rhône and Côtes-du-Ventoux have bee lauded in the press for their intensity of flavour and excellent value.
This, their Cotes du Rhone, has all the style and character of a classic Rhone wine. Deep, plum coloured hue with a classically “Syrah” nose of black pepper and bramble. Aromas of violets and liquorice entice to a full, rounded palate with delicate tannins.

Pair with "Provencale" style cuisine such as stuffed tomatoes and aubergines, mixed grills and barbecues.
