Château d'Aqueria, Tavel 2024 Rose

Château d’Aqueria Tavel 2024 is a beautifully structured rosé from one of the Southern Rhône’s most celebrated appellations. Combining expressive fruit, subtle spice and impressive freshness, it offers more depth and presence than a light, purely aperitif-style rosé. The historic Château d’Aqueria estate spans the Tavel and Lirac appellations and has been under the guidance of the Guigal family since May 2022.

Tasting Notes
The wine displays an elegant, vibrant rosé colour, reflecting the traditional character of Tavel. On the nose, expressive red fruit is complemented by delicate spicy nuances, creating an inviting and layered aromatic profile. On the palate, it is firm and well-structured, with generous fruit, refreshing acidity and a long, balanced finish. Its notable freshness keeps the wine lively and precise, while the texture gives it the substance to pair confidently with food. Enjoy it in its youth for maximum vibrancy, or over the next two to three years as its fruit and spice notes develop further.

Production
Château d’Aqueria’s vineyards extend across the distinctive terroirs of Tavel and Lirac in the Southern Rhône. The grapes are carefully destemmed and cooled before being transferred to tanks, where lots undergo a 12–24-hour maceration to build aromatic complexity and achieve the desired colour. The tanks are then drained, and the skins are slowly pressed before the pressed juice is blended with the free-run must. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled tanks over approximately 15 days. The estate has adopted sustainable practices and is working towards organic production, with deep respect for its varied terroirs.

Food & Serving
This full-bodied Tavel is an excellent match for grilled prawns, Mediterranean seafood, bouillabaisse, roast chicken, Provençal vegetables and lightly spiced dishes. Its structure also makes it a natural partner for charcuterie, grilled pork and fresh goat’s cheese. Serve well chilled at around 10–12°C. Decanting is not necessary, although allowing the wine a few minutes in the glass can help reveal its fruit and spice character.

Producer
Château d’Aqueria is a historic 100-hectare estate regarded as one of the jewels of the Southern Rhône. Its vineyards cover both Tavel, renowned for its structured rosés, and Lirac, and generations of winemakers have protected the estate’s exceptional terroirs. In May 2022, the Guigal family took over the direction of the property, continuing the legacy of the people of Aqueria while seeking to elevate the wines through sustainable farming and a gradual transition towards organic viticulture.
