2017 Joseph Phelps Delice Napa Valley 375ml

Joseph Phelps Vineyards has produced dessert wines in select vintages since the 1970’s. While the winery may be best known for Insignia, the proprietary name Delice, first introduced by the winery in the 1980’s remained one of Joe’s favorites.

We are pleased to revisit the Delice name with the launch of our 2017 dessert wine made from 100% estate-grown Scheurebe from our Home Ranch Vineyard in St. Helena.

Winemaking Notes: One of the few Scheurebe plantings in California, grapes were handpicked and frozen, followed by a partial thawing before a long, gentle pressing.

The juice was fermented in stainless steel at a cool temperature to retain the subtle aromatics of this variety.

The 2017 Delice is brimming with ripe pear, fragrant white flowers and chamomile followed by intense layers of peach nectar, lemon meringue and candied pineapple.

Nicely textured with bright acidity and a honeyed finish.
