Château d’Aquéria Tavel Rosé 2023

Description

Breaking the myth that great rosé must be produced by the ‘saignée’ method of bleeding only red grape varieties, the reputed house of d’Aqueria, co-ferments red and white varieties such as grenache, syrah, clairette, mourvèdre, bourboulenc and cinsault to create a complex, deeply flavourful and vibrantly coloured rosé. Often called a ‘gastronomic rosé’ as its place is squarely on the table with foods such as cracked black pepper-crusted salmon or try with a Toulouse-style Cassoulet. Tasted May 2024. Score – 91.
