Description
Grapes of exceptional quality from a noble terroir allow Chteau dAqueria to craft a quintessential Tavel, widely appreciated as the finest wine of its appellation. Grapes are handpicked from Chteau dAquerias own vineyards, which span 163 acres across the sandy slopes of Tavel. The mesoclimate is ideal for cultivating Grenache and crafting crisp, fresh ros wines. Using its cutting-edge weather station, located in the heart of the vineyards, Chteau dAqueria precisely monitors weather conditions and adjusts vineyard practices accordingly. The grapes are hand harvested and destemmed, followed by a maceration to extract color. This is a key step in crafting these Tavel wines as this maceration extracts color, structure, and matter. The varieties are blended two by two to enhance aromatic complexity. The juice then undergoes temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel vats for 15 days. This wine sees no malolactic fermentation and no oak contact. A second blend takes place in December before bottling. This results in a flavorful, vibrant, and food-friendly ros that can be enjoyed year-round.

Tasting Notes
The intense pink color is characteristic of a great Tavel, and shines with bright red glints. Raspberry and black currant notes share the glass with spices. The wine is balanced, combining power and elegance, and the finish is long.
