Tavel is a French appellation located in the southern Rhône that produces dry rosé wines. These full-bodied and aromatic rosés are made with Grenache Noir as the principal grape, but frequent additions also include Cinsault, Bourboulenc, Clairette, Mourvèdre, Picpoul, and Syrah.
Young Tavel wines are usually pink, but with age, they tend to become deep pink with gold or amber hues. They are fruity and floral, with notes and aromas that are reminiscent of red berries, stone fruits, and sometimes subtle almond nuances. As they age, they will usually display more complex notes of ripe fruit, toasted almonds, and spices.
Tavel wines are incredibly versatile and food-friendly, and they pair well with various savory dishes, especially those that include seafood, chicken, pork, or duck. These wines can be aged for a maximum of three years.
