Almost a Red.
This is a great quality Rosé from Tesco and I am surprised it’s not from their ‘Tesco Finest’ collection. Arbousset Tavel Rosé will likely convert those who think they don’t like rosé. It has full-on flavour and character.
Many rosé wines are pale, light and perfect paired with a salad. Arbousset Tavel Rosé offers plenty of summer berries but is a little more robust than most other rosé wines. It works well with heartier richer dishes but still retains the freshness of a more typical ‘pink’ wine.
Arbousset is a family-run, independent estate in the southern Rhône Valley with organic certification. Gérald Lafont, who grew up surrounded by vines, took over from his father Yvon in 2003. Gérald shares his vision for winemaking with Julie Rouffignac.
Dry and full bodied
Arbousset Tavel Rosé 2021 is a surprising pale red with plenty of flavour and made from a cuvée of 60% Grenache with 20% each of Syrah and Cinsault. This wine is dry and full bodied, with notes of strawberries and raspberries, and hints of citrus adding freshness.
This is a wonderful versatile wine, working well with summer dishes but still holding its own when served with your barbecue creations and even cheeseboards. Arbousset Tavel Rosé 2021 could be the all-year-round wine of choice for pre-dinner sipping as well as every dinner party course. It’s a winner!
