Discover the grape variety: Delrho
Simple colourful and fruity reds with a light purple colour, smooth tannins, an airy palate with preserved acidity, and understated aromas of red and black fruits. Productive. Now marginal, surviving in a few heritage plots in France and preserved in varietal collections for its genetic interest. French black hybrid variety developed in the 20th century as a disease-resistant cross.

Fleshy, peppery Syrah (black fruits, smoked meat). Round, fruity Merlot, historic mineral Riesling (dry and off-dry), precise Chardonnay and ample Sémillon.
The word of the wine: Ugni blanc
White grape variety of Italian origin, and the main white variety grown in France. Its large bunches give fine, light and lively wines, suitable for distillation: today it is the main variety for making cognac and armagnac. Ugni blanc, which is a little richer in alcohol when grown in Mediterranean regions, is used in the blending of the Provence and Corsica appellations, often in association with other grape varieties that bring aromas and structure, such as clairette, grenache blanc or sauvignon. Ugni blanc is also used, on a secondary basis, in the production of certain white wines in Gironde (AOC Bordeaux, Entre-deux-Mers, etc.).
