DeLille Cellars 2014 Chaleur Estate Blanc

An amazing nose of sweet Sauvignon Blanc grasses and Tuscan olives supports the pastry shop aromas of almond paste, cream, hints of pineapple, star fruit, key lime, grapefruit and Herbs de Provence. Maybe the best descriptor is “wow!” showing flavors that are rich and expansive. It’s not all about the Sauvignon Blanc though – the Semillon is evident on the palate with guava, citrus honey and fig notes. 2014 is a vintage of classic balance and elegance reinforcing the pedigree of this wine. There’s healthy structure with a lengthy finish reminding us of the greater development still to come.
