WOODINVILLE, WA (March 1, 2023) – DeLille Cellars, a pioneering Washington State winery, received five Top 100 accolades during its 30th Anniversary. Both of the winery’s founding Bordeaux-style blends, Chaleur Estate and D2, were recognized, landing at #48 on Jeb Dunnuck’s Top 100 and #30 on Wine Spectator’s Top 100, respectively. DeLille’s Grand Ciel Cabernet from its estate vineyard on Red Mountain placed #47 on Wine Enthusiast’s Top 100 Cellar Selections, and the winery’s blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, Chaleur Blanc, made Owen Bargreen’s Top 100 list at #59. DeLille also received its fifth Wine & Spirits Top 100 Wineries accolade.
“What an absolute honor it is to receive these accolades, and for several different wines” said Director of Winemaking and Viticulture Jason Gorski. “These are special acknowledgements of our team’s passion in the cellar and absolute commitment to every wine in our portfolio, the tremendous work by our grower partners, and the remarkable and unique quality of Washington wine.”
Other accolades include Great Northwest Wine’s Pacific Northwest Winery of the Year award in the spring of 2022, and recognition for the winery’s tasting room and restaurant, The Lounge at DeLille Cellars, most notably Seattle Magazine’s Readers’ Choice for Best Wine Tasting and #4 on USA Today’s Top 10 Winery Restaurants.
In 2019, DeLille Cellars moved all winery and hospitality operations to the Old Redhook Brewery in Woodinville, Washington. The winery includes a three-story tasting room and restaurant, The Lounge at DeLille Cellars. DeLille was the 50th winery in Washington and is the oldest operating winery in Woodinville. DeLille’s present-day portfolio consists of over 20 wines, a handful of which are nationally and internationally distributed. In fall of 2023 and winter of 2024, DeLille will be releasing the 30th vintages of its founding wines, D2 and Chaleur Estate.
