Our Review
With its sweeping views across to the snow-clad alps, this is uncompromising cool-climate viticulture. Increasing vine age (the earlier plantings were between 1968-82, others between '84-2011) and the adoption of organic (and partial biodynamic) viticulture, have also played a role in providing the red wines with more depth and texture. The white wines are as good as ever. All are wild-yeast fermented. In '11 Vestey Holdings Limited, the international pastoral giant, acquired a majority holding in Delatite and has said it represents one of ‘what we hope will be a number of agricultural businesses here'. Exports to Japan and China.
About
Delatite was established in 1968 by the Ritchie family and we continue to grow and make delicious wines that combine provenance and experience. Located at the base of the high country, we are committed to making wine as naturally as possible; to let the vineyard and grapes express their true characters. We are excited to share our commitment of crafting natural, sustainable, organic and biodynamic wines in our new cellar door with the aim of becoming carbon neutral by 2025.
