The region Tavel lies to the north east of Avignon on the right bank of the Rhône. Here, there are intense sunny summers yielding fruit of exceptional ripeness, concentration and intensity of flavour. A vibrant salmon-pink in colour, with a penetrating fruit fragrance offset by floral notes. Bone dry, full bodied and succulently fruity on the palate, its lush intensity and depth are balanced by an extraordinarily refreshing acidity carrying into a long, crisp finish with vibrant peppery nuances.

"Tavel is one of those wines that usually tastes better in situ than it does back in the UK, but this one is just as good in SW18. It's a dry, full-bodied, Grenache-based style with plenty of colour and flavours of raspberry and rosehip."
