VEGAN-Certified Organic grapes
Domaine Delmas is produced at the property of Domaine la Batteuse, a 50 acre, family owned vineyard that has grown considerably over the past 20 years. It is located in the tiny village of Antugnac, about 45 minutes from the famous city of Carcassonne. Grape growing is the only economic resource of the village, which has just 250 inhabitants, and 4 producers. The microclimate is ideal for growing white grapes. The vines are planted on clay, calcareous slopes exposed to the south or southwest.
The Domaine Delmas AOC Limoux is a handcrafted labor of love. The freshly pressed white wine is immediately put into 2-3 year old French oak barrels, where it is left in contact with the fine lees and stirred every 8 days for 12 months. The breeding on fine lees with a regular batonnage (gentle agitation of the wine, which puts the yeasts back in suspension) makes it possible to exploit all the aromatic potential of the grapes. The advantage of making the wine in oak barrels is the possibility of working in smaller containers, thus allowing for micro-selections by vine, row, alcohol, acidity and batonnage. The exchanges between wine and wood allow the wine to develop a stronger structure. After 12 months, the wine reaches its maturity.
This wine is both full bodied & complex. Rich & golden in color with enticing aromas of nutmeg & gardenia. Deep, concentrated fruit flavors, interesting mineral complexity & a long, honey-like finish. Nurtured with plenty of sun and a temperate climate, this special wine is influenced by the air and soil of Limoux and its proximity to the Pyrénées and the "sweetness of the Mediterranean Sea."
