Delas Freres

Delas Frères is a French wine producer based in the Northern Rhône Valley, with particular focus on the prestigious Hermitage appellation. The house operates from Tain-l'Hermitage and produces wines from several Northern Rhône appellations, working primarily with Syrah for red wines and Marsanne and Roussanne for whites.

Hermitage represents the pinnacle of Syrah expression in France, with vineyards planted on steep granite slopes overlooking the Rhône River. The appellation's terroir combines granite soils with a continental climate, producing Syrah wines known for their power, longevity, and complex aromatics that develop savory, spicy, and earthy characteristics with age. Hermitage reds typically require extended cellaring to reach their full potential and can age for decades.

The producer's current offerings include their Hermitage Domaine des Tourettes, which showcases the classic Northern Rhône approach to Syrah cultivation. This vineyard represents one of several climat within the broader Hermitage hill, contributing to the diversity of expressions possible within this renowned appellation.
