100° F calls for Gazpacho Andalus and…
Tavel Rosé.
That nose is huge, huge round citrus rind bordering on Strawberry jam(ala the Kinks). But the palate is long, mineral(dirty), sappy, almost but not quite sticky.Persistent aftertaste of pressed fruits, tarry tactile roof of the mouth exploration. A serious rosé, no doubt. With food, great. You could probably forget about one of these for years and it would be boffo. Aged on lees in an “Egg Vat”. As follows… 50% Grenache, 25%Clairette, 25% Syrah.

Fermenting and aging Tavel Rosé in concrete "egg" vats is a modern technique utilized by some of the Tavel AOC appellation's more progressive estates, such as Château de Trinquevedel. The egg shape promotes a natural, convection-style circulation of the wine, keeping the lees suspended for a creamier texture and enhanced depth.

2016 Vintage. $8.99 at Trader Joe’s. What a great deal. Strawberries on the nose and full-bodied for a Rose. @David L was right on about this wine. We like the 2017 Chateau Trinquevedel better but it’s almost twice the price. Haven’t seen the 2017 in TJ’s nearby yet. Will have to do a side by side with the 2016 Trinquevedel and report back. Just bought the last 7 at the Morgan Hill, CA store. — 8 years ago
