A fine combination that Delas has brought to market in this bottle. Quality is paramount during the winemaking process, and only the finest grapes are good enough to bear the Delas label.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The leading winery Delas\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThe Delas winery was founded in 1835 by Delas Freres. In the 1960s, Delas Frères was one of the leading wineries in the Rhône, with its own vineyards in Hermitage, Cornas, Côte Rôtie, and Condrieu. Today, Delas Freres owns the top vineyards. The steep granite slopes provide optimal growing conditions. Here, the grapes ripen perfectly, resulting in high-quality wines.\n\n\n\n The Crozes-Hermitage vineyards are the largest in the northern Rhône region in terms of surface area. They span eleven communes in the Drôme region on the left bank of the Rhône, where the soils vary. In the north, the soil consists primarily of granite, while in the south, it consists of fluvial-glacial alluvium and terraces with rolled pebbles from the old riverbed and loess. The vineyards enjoy a southerly exposure on the ridges. The Mistral is a dominant wind. The production area covers 1,200 hectares.\n\n\n \nThe grapes are harvested by hand and transported to the cellars in small crates. After gentle pressing, the wine ferments in closed tanks at a relatively low temperature of 16 degrees Celsius. This allows the aromatic complexity of the Marsanne and Roussanne grapes to develop. After alcoholic fermentation, the wine matures on the fine sediment. This allows the wine's richness and structure to develop optimally, while preserving the exceptional characteristics of both grapes.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e A seductive wine with expressive aromas\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\n The color is bright with a golden hue. The nose is expressive, with predominantly floral aromas such as hawthorn, lemon verbena, and linden, intermingled with hints of exotic fruits like lychee and mango, along with citrus. The palate is fresh and fruity, delightfully seductive.","brand":"Fourcroy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775746478159,"sku":"275","price":29.7,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/delas-crozes-hermitage-wit-blanc_275.webp?v=1770041770"},{"product_id":"guigal-crozes-hermitage-rouge","title":"Guigal Crozes Hermitage Rouge","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis red Crozes Hermitage from Etienne Guigal is a real crowd-pleaser with plenty of punch.
