Winemaking Style

The winery and vineyards have been upgraded from old wooden casks to 600 new barriques, the building of an extension to the winery, and the purchase of acreage in Crozes- Hermitage and on the Hermitage Hill.

Delas’ winemaking philosophies include: 100% destemmed fruit, cold maceration, minimal rackings, reducing sulphur levels, extensive lees aging and bottling the top cuvées without fining or filtration.

From the Côtes du Rhône to the highly praised Hermitage Les Bessards, each and every single wine of the Delas portfolio offers unparelleled pleasure, quality and value.
