Eleanor

Black plum, blackberry, ripe cherry – the Eleanor 2021 shows what California does best with red grape varieties: dark fruit with a round mouthfeel and a finish that lingers long after.

Behind the bottle is Delicato Family Wines , a family winery from California, rooted in Lodi and the Central Valley since 1924. Over three generations, the Delicatos have built their business from humble beginnings into one of California's most renowned wineries – with a clear focus on approachable, characterful wines from well-managed vineyards.

Dark berry fruit dominates in the glass: black plum and blackberry take center stage, followed by a hint of ripe cherry and soft vanilla notes, suggesting oak aging. The body is full, the tannins are smoothly integrated, and the finish is fruity and warm without any harshness.

• Temperature: 17–18 °C
• Goes well with: Pulled pork, grilled beef burgers, pasta with meat ragu or mature cheddar.
• Occasion: Midweek dinner or relaxed barbecue – uncomplicated and with plenty of drinks
