Delegat's Regional Varietal Wines



Regional Varietal Wines

Our Regional Varietal wines express the regional character and harmony of Hawke’s Bay and Marlborough viticulture. They are strongly varietal, elegant, crisp and refreshing. These are wines to enjoy within a year or two of vintage.

 

Delegat’s Hawke’s Bay Chardonnay

Fresh, lively fruit aromas with nuances of oak on the bouquet and palate. Typically, ripe peachy stonefruit flavours are balanced with a lovely creamy texture, giving structure, balance and length on the palate. Lively tropical / citrus flavours are enhanced by subtle oak maturation, allowing the wine to develop an appealing creamy lingering finish.


Delegat’s Hawke’s Bay Cabernet Merlot

This wine is a blend of cabernet sauvignon and merlot. Full berry fruit aromas with subtle hints of oak filling the bouquet. The cabernet sauvignon in the blend provides rounded full-bodied flavours while the merlot imparts soft fruit characters on the middle palate. The flavours are firm, finishing with a ripe, smooth and gracefully balanced varietal mix.


Delegat’s Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc

Typically bright and lemon-fresh in colour. Fresh fruit characters dominate the aroma with underlying hints of tropical fruit filling out the bouquet. The palate presents a snappy mouthful of grapefruit and mandarin and there is a zingy finish suggesting light citrus and crunchy apple.
