Delas – King of the Hill… Of Hermitage 8-31-24

Delas
 

Your Three-Day Discount Starts Now

Delas makes some of the most powerful, intense wines in the Northern Rhône at prices that make them one of the superior values in the region. Drawing from their extensive holdings in every major region, they craft dense and rich impactful wines. We turn to them for big, bold wines that show well young yet reward tenfold in the cellar—a remarkable combination for French wines.
 
One of the leading Champagne Houses, Louis Roederer, purchased Delas in the 1990s. Their team brought much needed renewal to the brand. Since then, quality has been nearly unrivaled. But for whatever reason, the market has yet to catch up. Just look at Jamet, Guigal, and Chapoutier prices in comparison, not to mention the heights of Bordeaux, Napa, and even once humble Priorat.

Tenuta Delle Terre Nere
 
 

“The Etna is the Burgundy of the Mediterranean,” says the man whose career as an importer of fine Italian wines is legendary. Marc De Grazia is one of the original ‘Barolo Boys,’ and his beloved Tenuta delle Terre Nere was more than 20 years in the making. Today, he farms 29 parcels on the northern flank, and his portfolio of wines is the gold standard for Etna wine.” -Wine Advocate
 
Really, the fact that Etna is a wine producing region at all is miraculous.
