Delatite started making their own wine in 1981.

In 2005 David Ritchie took over the business and started growing the grapes using Biodynamic Principles.

In 2011 Delatite started to make their wines more naturally. This began with only using “wild yeast”. This is where you don’t add any cultured yeasts, instead allowing the wild yeasts on the grapes and in the winery to ferment the sugars. This process is beneficial for many reasons but most importantly it is a slower and lower temperature ferment, it gives the wine more character and complexity and allowing the wines to show the terrior.
