Delas Freres is a winery of tradition and renewal. Founded 160 years ago in Cotes du Rhône, the noble estate has been rejuvenated by the passion and energy of Famille Lallier-Deutz. From vineyards between Avignon and the ville of Orange, Haute Pierre is a negociant wine crafted with harvests of fruit by growers who have been supplying Delas for generations. Grapes are crushed, destemmed and vinified in traditional open cement tank fermenters for ten days. Maceration lasts eight to ten days, achieving a high extraction of flavours and essential carbolic acid. After de-vatting and pressing, the wine is treated to a course of malolactic fermentation, followed by fourteen months maturation in large format oak casks.
