Wine Reviews

Notes of raspberries, wild strawberries, pomegranate and grapefruit preface the 2024 Tavel from Château d’Aquéria, a medium- to full-bodied, round and enveloping wine with a structured mid-palate and a long, spicy and generous finish.

More vibrant and harmonious than the 2024, Aqueria’s 2023 Tavel wafts from the glass with aromas of raspberries, wild strawberries, flowers, lilac and pomegranate. Medium- to full-bodied, structured and enveloping, it has a fleshy core of fruit, delicate tannins and a long, mouthwatering finish. This is another classic.

Dense, fruit-driven and caressing, showing watermelons, crushed berries and mild spices on the nose. Medium-bodied with a delicious, well-rounded and supple development on the palate. Vivid and flavorful.

Tavel is the world’s only appellation solely devoted to rosé wines, and Château d’Aqueira is a specialist of a very high order. This wine’s beautiful ruby color displays an unwillingness to tilt toward the wildly popular style of Provence, and it is followed up by wonderfully deep flavors recalling pomegranate and ripe red cherry that remain fresh thanks to a streak of acidity that continues through the finish. Please, let this wine never change.
