Why Sweetbriar Chooses the Finest Wines Like Delas Hermitage Les Bessards 2019
At Sweetbriar, we believe that the wines we serve should reflect the same level of craftsmanship and dedication as the food on our menu. That’s why we carefully select only the finest wines to pair with our wood-fired dishes, ensuring that each sip enhances the dining experience. One such wine is the Delas Hermitage Les Bessards 2019, a Syrah from one of the most esteemed regions in the world: Hermitage, Rhone, France.
A Legendary Wine Region: Hermitage, Rhone
The Hermitage region is known for producing some of the best Syrah in the world. Situated on a single south-facing slope of crushed granite, this small region offers the perfect conditions for growing Syrah grapes. The granite soil, combined with well-charted climats (parcels), provides a unique terroir that imparts complexity and depth to the wines produced here. Delas Hermitage Les Bessards 2019 captures the essence of this historic winemaking region.
At Sweetbriar, we appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into producing wines from this region. The traditional winemaking techniques used in Hermitage—including hot fermentations and aging in older barrels—help create wines with rich, layered flavors and significant aging potential. The Delas Hermitage Les Bessards 2019 is a perfect example of this, offering deep, dense flavors of black fruit, cocoa, licorice, and tobacco, along with a smooth texture and robust structure.
A Perfect Pairing for Sweetbriar’s Cuisine
The bold flavors and complexity of Delas Hermitage Les Bessards 2019 make it an excellent pairing for many of Sweetbriar’s signature wood-fired dishes. Its dark fruit and earthy notes complement our charred meats, while the wine’s balance of power and elegance pairs beautifully with both rich and more subtly flavored dishes.
For instance, the wine’s deep black fruit notes, along with hints of tobacco and cocoa, pair perfectly with our 30oz Black Angus Ribeye, enhancing the smoky, savory flavors imparted by the wood-fired grill. The Syrah’s velvety tannins and robust structure also stand up to bold dishes like our Whole Branzino, making for a seamless, satisfying dining experience.
