Delas Cotes du Rhone Blanc Saint Esprit Rhone 2016
The colour has a golden straw hue with green tinges. The main aromas are reminiscent of white flowers and yellow fruit, enhanced by touches of exotic and citrus fruit. On the palate, the wine is alert, seductively suave and fresh.
The "Saint-Esprit" is a blend of wines whose fruits mainly come from the right bank of the Rhône. Average production: 15,000 bottles (75 cl.) per year. Grape variety : Grenache blanc Clairette, Bourboulenc and Viognier are the main vavieties of the blend.
After pressing and cold settling for a period of 24 hours, the musts are racked and fermented in temperature controled stainless steel tanks at maximum temperature of 64°F (18°C).
Malolactic fermentation is avoided, in order to preserve natural balance and freshness in the wine, so to enhance its finesse. The wine is then stored in stainless steel tanks until bottling. Prior to bottling, the wine is lightly fined and filtered, in order to provide it with the perfect stability.

The celebrated Delas Frères wine company was founded back in 1835. Since 1996, the spirit and soul that contributed to its reputation for high quality wines have been restored. The company's new management has made important investments in the Saint-Jean-de-Muzols production site near Tournon-sur-Rhône. Its highly-motivated team is proud to play its part in the revival of the quality of this venerable Rhône Valley wine company. A specially designed vat-house for the vinification of red wines, as well as a full restructuring of the ageing cellars, are among the new quality measures at Delas, all aimed at perpetuating and enhancing the expression of the Terroir.
