La Lôyane Tavel Rosé

Bottle notes

This relatively young family-owned Domaine was created in 2001 by vignerons with 4 generations of vine growing and winemaking expertise under their belts.  They own some seriously old vines in superb sites in the Southern Rhone on a mixture of soils of red sand, clay and the classic ‘Galet’ pebbles associated with Chateauneuf du Pape.  As a result, their wines possess a wonderful depth and concentration.

A blend of Grenache (50%), Cinsault (20%) and Clairette rose (30%) It's dry full of berry fruits and spice, and like most Tavel make very good food wines.

A dry, very southern, fresh and round wine with lots of Grenache.
