Prieuré de Montézargues Tavel Rosé

 WINEMAKER’S NOTES:

The 2015 vintage was a “generous vintage”. Spring was average but summer was hot and dry with temperatures that exceeded 100°F with a few thunderstorms throughout the season. Hand harvesting took place over several weeks, but the fermentations occured seemlessly from beginning to end, creating fresh, aromatic, well balanced and complex wines. The entire vineyard is certified Organic by Ecocert.

An appealing rosé with a brilliant pink color. A rich nose showing red berry tones such as strawberry and gooseberry. Fresh on the palate, with persisting citrus notes. Well rounded body and a long, structured finish.
