INTRODUCING DELEGAT

Delegat is a global wine industry success story. In many parts of the world we have
transformed the Super Premium wine category. Our brands are not just enjoyed, they

establish internationally one of the world’s great Super Premium wine brands in Oyster
Bay, talented and committed people will bring our aspirations to fruition.
