CHÂTEAU D'AQUÉRIA |
| This lovely classic French rose has a bright pale violet-reddish colour. Intense, gently spicy, ripe, red-apple-plum nose with some floral, mineral notes. Dry, medium bodied, nicely structured, very bright, gently spicy, ripe apple-plum-raspberry flavours with a lingering, bright, fresh, crisp, harmonious finish. Versatile - would work well with salmon and/or roast chicken. The entire Southern Rhone commune of Tavel is solely dedicated 100% to Rosé - no reds or whites. This blend of 45% Grenache, 20% Clairette, 15% Cinsault, 8% Mourvèdre, 6% Syrah, 4% Bourboulenc & 2% Picpoul has 14.3% alcohol and under 2 g/L residual sugar with lot number LT3006 on the back label. Will still improve in bottle! |

| TASTING NOTE: The estate of Aquéria employs an impressively complex proprietary process in the creation of their one and only wine. Close to a dozen grapes are grown in cool sandy soils in the largest contiguous vineyard in Tavel. Each red is paired up with a white for co-maceration before fermentation and maturation, never in oak. The result is a complex cornucopia of red fruit and flora that include strawberry, candied cherry, white peach, starfruit, dragon fruit, thyme and rose. Marked by a hot, drought vintage, the 2022 vintage shows more concentration than the norm. Drink now or hold another 2-3 years. Tasted April 2023. Score - 92 (Sara d'Amato, winealign.com) |
