Ch D Aqueria 2020 Chateau d’Aqueria Tavel

Grapes of exceptional quality from a noble terroir allow Chteau dAqueria to craft a quintessential Tavel, widely appreciated as the finest wine of its appellation. Grapes are handpicked from Chteau dAquerias own vineyards, which span 163 acres across the sandy slopes of Tavel. The mesoclimate is ideal for cultivating Grenache and crafting crisp, fresh ros wines. Using its cutting-edge weather station, located in the heart of the vineyards, Chteau dAqueria precisely monitors weather conditions and adjusts vineyard practices accordingly. The grapes are hand harvested and destemmed, followed by a maceration to extract color. The varieties are blended two by two to enhance aromatic complexity. This is a key step in crafting these Tavel wines as this maceration extracts color, structure and matter. The grapes are then pressed before the fermentation undergoing temperature-controlled maceration and fermentation in stainless steel vats for 15 days. This wine see no malolactic fermentation and no oak contact. A second blend take place in December before bottling.
