A meatier fish such as salmon is the perfect pairing with the full-bodied, ageable ros\u00e9 wine, Tavel.<\/em><\/p>\n

Tavel is the only all-ros\u00e9 appellation in the Rh\u00f4ne<\/strong>, and it comes in a range of pinks, from the palest salmon to its famous, bright magenta hue. By law, Tavel wines may be a blend but must contain a minimum of 30% Grenache.<\/p>\n

The Tavel from Ch\u00e2teau D’Aqueria<\/a> is a single varietal comprised of 100% Grenache grapes. In the glass, it pours a vibrant salmon-coral color. On the nose, I detected a bouquet of rose petals along with red fruits and ripe stone fruits. It’s a hefty ros\u00e9 with layers of complexity on the palate, including black fruit and garrigue notes.<\/p>\n

While ros\u00e9 can be enjoyed all year round, the most popular season is usually spring and summer; but this Tavel is just as crave-worthy in fall and winter as it is in the warmer months. Ch\u00e2teau d\u2019Aqueria Tavel Ros\u00e9’s full body makes it a great pairing for rich salmon with a fresh pico de gallo.<\/p>\n
