Delas, Hermitage Marquise Tourette Blanc other_regions_australia The palate is beautifully balancedConcentrated, richly textured and loaded with flowers, vanilla, nectarines, orange and yellow citrus notes, with just a drizzle of honey, the wine is buttery, juicy, fresh and clean. Still young, this is one of those Northern Rhone white wines that will better in a decade. The wine was made from 100% Marsanne.
