Hailing from the north of the Rhone Valley, Delas Freres produce a selection of some of the worlds great syrah/shiraz wines. Thanks to an early harvest the 2020 vintage in the Northern Rhone resulted in classic fresh and bright wines. They offer wonderful perfume, smooth and silky tannins and are well balanced.
"Their wines reflect a sense of place, or terroir, the expression of their sector and also the vintage style delivered by the year`s weather. Simplicity of approach and purity of flavour are features, and the vigneron`s hand is present with the lightest of touches."
John Livingstone-Learmonth, Drink Rhône

2020 Saint-Joseph 'Francois de Tournon'
Usually $95 - Special Offer $85
Opaque magenta. Mineral- and smoke-accented dark berry, candied licorice, bacon fat and floral aromas show outstanding clarity and spicy lift. Densely packed, appealingly sweet cherry, blueberry and spice cake flavors are braced by an undercurrent of smoky minerality.
Shows a suave floral note on the impressively persistent finish, which is shaped by smooth, well-judged tannins.

2020 Saint-Joseph 'St. Epine'
Usually $139 - Special Offer $129
Brilliant purple color. Pungent dark berries, licorice, smoked meat and potpourri on the highly perfumed nose. Shows very good depth as well as energy on the palate, which offers nervy, spice accented cassis, bitter cherry and black pepper flavors that become sweeter as the wine opens up.
Steadily building tannins frame a very long, focused finish that echoes the floral and smoke notes.

2020 Crozes-Hermitage 'Les Clos'
Usually $115 - Special Offer $105
Glass-staining garnet. Expansive blackberry and cherry preserve scents are complemented by suggestions of exotic spices, incense and olive. Round and fleshy but lively as well, offering intense black and blue fruit liqueur and spice cake flavors that are underscored by a vein of juicy acidity.
A smoky mineral note builds emphatically on the youthfully tannic finish, which hangs on with superb, spice- and mineral-driven tenacity.

2020 Hermitage 'Domaine des Tourettes'
Usually $169 - Special Offer $155
Inky ruby. Smoke- and mineral-accented black and blue fruits, violet, licorice and an olive nuance on the deeply perfumed nose. Stains the palate with intense cherry, blueberry and fruitcake flavors that are sharpened by a spicy touch of cracked pepper.
Youthfully chewy tannins frame an impressively long, penetrating finish that leaves candied dark berry and floral pastille notes behind. These are still young days for this wine but, as usual, it already screams "Hermitage".

Vibrant, focused and appealingly sweet, offering intense, mineral-driven black and blue fruit, floral pastille and smoky bacon flavors that become deeper and spicier as the wine opens up.
The floral note comes back strong on the impressively long, penetrating finish, which features youthfully chewy tannins and exotic spice notes.

Deep, vivid ruby. Smoky, mineral- and spice-accented red and dark berry preserve scents show excellent clarity and a sexy floral top note.

Finishes chewy, sharply focused and extremely long, with solid tannins adding shape and final grip.

Dark Purple. A highly complex bouquet evokes ripe black and blue fruits, incense and potpourri; olive and exotic spice nuances build in the glass.
