Chateau D'aqueria Tavel Rose 2025 (750ml)

Château d'Aquéria's 2025 Tavel is a Southern Rhône blend built from Grenache Noir, Syrah, Clairette, Mourvèdre, Cinsault, and Bourboulenc. Tavel, on the left bank of the Rhône, is France's rosé stronghold, and this wine exemplifies the region's willingness to make pink wine with structure and grip rather than delicate prettiness.

The wine opens with red fruit, raspberries, wild strawberries, pomegranate, and citrus brightness, then develops into something more substantial. The body is medium to full, with a rounded, enveloping texture that carries a structured mid-palate. The finish turns spicy and lingers generously, suggesting this is a rosé built for food and for contemplation, not just for poolside sipping. The blend balances Grenache's plumpness against Syrah's peppery spine, resulting in a classic expression of what serious Tavel can be.
