Delas Ventoux Rouge 2022 (France)

Stretching out along the left bank of the Rhône river, around the limestone outcrop of the Mount Ventoux, the appellation covers an area of 6,400 hectares/15,808 acres. It shares the same pedological, climatic features, and the same grape varieties, as the neighbouring Côtes-du-Rhône vineyards.

The Delas Ventoux rouge is a blend of wines essentially produced on the communes mazan and goult in heart appellation. with an average production bottles per year made mainly Grenache Syrah.

The Grenache grapes undergo traditional winemaking in stainless steel vats. Daily pumping over allows gentle extraction of the phenolic components. The Syrah is sometimes not de-stemmed in order to fully express the power of the fruit aromas from this variety. When the malolactic fermentation has been completed, the wines are blended before going into stainless steel vats in the air-conditioned winery. There, they can spend between 6 to 8 months before the final bottling takes place. Winery Notes
