Tavel Rose


Tavel is a region in France that soley produces rose wine since 1935. No wonder they are so good at crafting delicious rose wine. Tavel's rose is a one that stands out from the crowd. By blending Grenache, Clairette, Cinsault, Mourvedre, and Bourboulene, these grapes produce a wine that has an intense salmon-pink color, which is full of body, fruit, and fragrance. Once introduced to the palate, this rose provides a long, dry, crisp finish, with just enough vibrant pepper to keep you coming back for more. Tavel is un-oaked and ready to drink once chilled. This wine is best served with bright, zesty dishes, and seafood. Pick up the Chateau d'Acqueria at West Vail Liquor for only $19.99.
Wine Spectator rating: 88 pts.
