Delegat's Reserve Wines

Delegat's Reserve wines feature the grape varieties for which the Hawke's Bay wine region is famous. Beautifully ripe fruit from our vineyards is used to create our Reserve wines, which express the unique varietal character and flavour of Hawke's Bay. Barrique matured, they are subtle and very approachable on release, and are crafted for immediate drinking. They also have the structure and balance to reward cellaring.
