An innovative reimagining of red wine, the French-inspired De Toren Délicate is an exquisite and light cépage that reveals its best assets when served slightly chilled. Not only does it offer the refreshment of a white wine and the elegance of a red wine, but it is also a very versatile food pairing wine due to its light-style nature.
And speaking of perfect pairings, this season, the best catch and the best match by far is De Toren Délicate served with freshly caught local Yellowtail – a delightful pairing indeed. The lightness of the wine is in harmony with the delicate fish.
Medium-bodied and immeasurably gentle, it offers up an abundance of juicy fruit and velvety, smooth tannins that lead to a sophisticated finish. While it displays intense red undertones, this limited-production wine is soft and delicate on the palate, making it the perfect culinary consort, not to mention the reason a number of the world’s top dining establishments choose it specifically for their dedicated tasting menus.
Here is our recipe for De Toren Délicate paired with Asian-style Marinated Yellowtail:
