Dellys
A small brand owned by former Blue Pyrenees Estate winemaker Vincent Gere that combines wines from the Pyrenees area in Victoria with a delicious white from near Cognac in France. Dellys Australian property in Avoca is very near Blue Pyrenees Estate, on the slopes towards the south east. Only the very deep soils allow the root system of the vines to develop and extract the rare nutrients. The red clay, metamorphised in red stones is terrific for the Shiraz of course but also for Cabernet Sauvignon. The Limestone of Petite Champagne in Cognac is very deep. The vineyard is on a gentle slope facing south, called La C™te Blanche. The hill is made of chalk layered in limestone of several tens of metres deep. The chalk acts as a sponge, absorbing the humidity when raining and releasing it in case of drought. Exposed fully to the south, La C™te Blanche enjoys one of the best climates at the heart of the Cognac region, a perfect terroir for chardonnay which can express its elegance and intense mineral character.
