Chateau Dalat Signature Shiraz was officially recognized as Viet Nam’s first high-end wine brand and chosen to be served to the honoured guests at the upcoming forum in Danang, attended by leaders and heads of State from 21 member countries.

Chateau Dalat Signature is a range of high-end wines created by Ladora Winery, using specially grown grapes from Ninh Thuan Province.

As part of Ladofoods, Ladora Winery has created the high-end wine brand Chateau Dalat after painstaking processes of research and development, from gathering and cultivating the right variety of grapes to bottling the finished products. The grapes are grown in accordance with high European farming standards. After the best grapes are collected and extracted, they go through fermentation and refinement under an Italian wine making process. The wines are then aged under strict supervision of world-renowned experts to achieve top quality.

Since 1999, as Viet Nam’s first wine maker to implement European technology, Ladora Winery has helped Vietnamese wine brands to be on par with high-quality imported wines. Ladora Winery has invited wine experts from around the world and learned how to improve its fermenting, aging and blending techniques. Grapes are collected when evenly ripe and have the right amount of sugar. After the initial fermenting processes, the wine is aged in oak barrels or special tanks to provide it with a more natural aroma and flavour.

Ladora Winery’s journey to make a mark on the wine map of the world reached a landmark when Chateau Dalat Signature was officially invited to be on display at the Wine Museum in Germany in 2017.

Last year, at the international Cathay Pacific Wine Competition hosted by the Asia-Pacific Region, Chateau Dalat impressed world-renowned wine experts from many countries and territories, such as England, New Zealand, Hong Kong and Singapore, as well as Japan, Korea and Thailand, and surpassed top wine brands from 90 countries and territories to receive the silver prize. This is an honour not only for the Chateau Dalat brand name, but also for Viet Nam’s wine making industry.

Furthermore, Chateau Dalat has also been chosen to be served at pre-APEC gala dinners for many diplomatic and trade conferences. Chateau Dalat has also been selected by corporations and government agencies as the official gift for honoured guests – both domestic and international.

Chateau Dalat’s quality continues to be reaffirmed as it was officially selected as the official wine for APEC 2017.

Chateau Dalat wine will continue to expand its global reach, with the immediate short-term plan to make Ladora Winery the leading wine maker in Southeast Asia. Ladora Winery will increase its high quality grape plantation to 100ha, applying the most modern farming techniques and standards.

Nguyen Huu Thuy, CEO of Ladofoods, said: “Ladofoods has exclusively devoted and invested in the 6ha Ladora Winery in Phat Chi – Dalat, Lam Dong. With further investment in a 20ha vineyard in Ninh Thuan, Ladora Winery is showcasing its ambition to create high-quality wine that bears a Vietnamese brand name.”
