Chateauneuf-du-Pape Delas Freres
| Description: | Tasting:. The colour is a deep garnet-red. The nose of the \"Haute Pierre\" cuvée is characterised by strong spicy aromas, which show a rich, powerful body wrapped around with a more delicate yet tightly knit tannic framework. Rich and unctuous on the palate, the finish reveals some intense, liquorice-like flavours. Harmony between wine and dish:. Ideal with the traditional French and \"Provençale\" cuisine-stews, stuffed and fine meats. Characteristic. • The vineyards are planted on alluvial reddish clay that lies on terraced slopes of sun-scorched rounded quartz stones. • Grape varieties : Grenache (90%) and Syrah (10%). • Average production : 15,000 bottles (75 cl.) per year. Wine making:. After destemming and crushing, the grapes are put into concrete vats for alcoholic fermentation. This lasts approximately ten days and is followed by a 8 to 10-day maceration to complete the extraction. After devatting and pressing, malolactic fermentation is carried out in vats. Ageing:. The wine is drawn off under aeration, to enable natural stabilisation to take place. It then goes into 60 hectoliters oak tuns for a period of 14 months. Region Description.
