Delheim Grand Reserve

Delheim Grand Reserve

Ref: sa3012


Price: £16.56

Quantity:



98 % Cabernet Sauvignon & 2 % Merlot

Planted on South Eastern facing slope with well drained, sandy loamy soils. Bushvines, planted in double rows. Extensive summer pruning and canopy management helped to achieve good sunlight penetration in the bush vine. This allowed for full ripening of the fruit and a balanced crop. Drip irrigation allows for water stress management.

Crushing and destemming. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks with the aid of selected yeast strains. Temperature controlled between 25 / 30°C. Pump overs carried out thrice daily. The wine matured for 18 months in French oak barrels (40% new).

A rich and intense wine with expressive fruit aromas followed by pepper and mint undertones. Careful maturation in French oak barrels contributes to the complexity and diverse flavour compounds on the palate. The elegant yet firm tannin structure will ensure that it will age well 5-8 years after vintage.
Enjoy with venison, roast leg of lamb or beef.

Delheim's flagship since its maiden vintage in 1981.. for the finer collector.
