Chateau d'Aqueria Tavel 2024

Château d’Aquéria Tavel is widely celebrated as the benchmark expression of Tavel, the Southern Rhône's legendary "King of Rosés." Crafted from a classic blend dominated by Grenache, Clairette, and Syrah grown on the estate's sun-drenched, sandy-limestone and pebble-strewn soils, this wine stands apart from pale summer rosés with its deep, jewel-toned ruby-pink hue and remarkable structural complexity. The nose opens with a vibrant, highly fragrant bouquet of fresh wild strawberries, ripe raspberries, and red cherries, layered alongside delicate floral notes of rose petal, subtle garrigue herbs, and a touch of white pepper.

On the palate, it delivers impressive body, vinous weight, and a rich, mouth-coating texture that bridges the gap between a fine white and a light red. A juicy core of dark berry fruit and stone fruit is cut by a vibrant, energetic beam of natural acidity and a subtle mineral grip that keeps the finish long, crisp, and remarkably refreshing.
