Delas Freres Muscat Beaumes-De-Venise 2015

Producer Information

Founded 160 years ago in the heart of the northern Côtes du Rhône, Delas Freres today crafts world class wines from both northern and southern Rhône.

Tending the steep sloping vineyards, which total some 30 hectares of vines, the team adapt their growing practices to each plot of vines to let the terroir of the Rhône shine through in the wines.

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.

Vineyards

Soils are made up of limestone with some sandstone and molasse. The climate is mediterranean and warm with natural shelter from the Mistral wind.

Winemaking

Grapes are hand picked and fermented for 21 days. Vierge alcohol is then added to stop the fermentation which brings the wine to a minimum of 15% alcohol with a residual sugar of 110g/litre.

Tasting Note

Pale golden in colour with intense fruit and floral aromas. On the palate the wine has delicious freshness and a full body, with lingering fruit flavours of melon and lemon on the finish.

Food Pairing

Best served with fruit tarts.
