Delas Cotes du Rhone 'Saint Esprit' Blanc 2020
The Côtes-du-Rhône Saint-Esprit Blanc consists of a blend of Grenache blanc, Clairette, Bourboulenc and Viognier varietals from the Right Bank vineyards of the Southern Rhône Valley. The Grenache adds structure to the wine while the Clairette and Bourboulenc contribute to its fine aromatic quality.
The climate is Mediterranean and bears the stamp of the “mistral” wind. This strong wind results from a difference in atmospheric pressures between the northern and southern parts of the Rhône valley. It is beneficial to the vine's growth. The region is also marked by seasonal rains, and hot, exceptionally sunny weather in the summer months.
“Plump and fresh, with inner brightness as the star fruit, green melon and white peach flavours mingle gently. Ends with a kiss of verbena on the finish. Drink now.”
This wine pairs well with grilled fish or enjoyed as an aperitif.
