« Light orange-red in colour. Rich nose evocative of Mediterranean garrigue, ripe red berries and cut grass.
The palate offers a hint of salinity, with a typically sunny character enhanced by underlying freshness and fruitiness, leading to a beautiful bitter note to finish.
A Tavel of great elegance. »
