Drink now or cellar for up to 9 years. Decant for 1 hour before serving. This magnificent Châteauneuf-du-Pape is carefully composed of Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah, Counoise, and Vaccarese grapes sourced from the Delorme family’s estate. All of the grapes are harvested żeby hand from 60 year old vines that are planted on pebbly limestone soils which help to intensify the concentrated and aromatic flavour profile found in the finished wine. When they arrive at the vineyard the grapes are destemmed and then undergo an extended maceration and fermentation in temperature-controlled tanks. The wine is then aged in a combination of used oak casks and stainless steel tanks to help preserve freshness and the pure varietal character. The result is a charming Chateauneuf-du-Pape which opens with crushed strawberry, raspberry and violet aromas. The first sip reveals a full body and firm structure which is artfully balanced by a fresh acidity and intense dried fruit, ripe plum and licorice flavours. The soft, ripe tannins and long finish make this an ideal wine to serve with rich foods like cooked hams, a fine steak or a hearty beef stew. It is also an excellent partner for mature cheeses, charcuterie, and red meats served in a rich tomato sauce.
