Domaine Tempier Bandol Rose 2023

The grapes used to make this rosé come from selected parcels where the vines are on average 20 years old. The yields are low, which explains the intense concentration and distinct expression of each varietal in this wine. The presence of Mourvedre gives this wine its strong character, balance and complexity. An intense fruit and floral nose make this an attractive rosé.The palate is rounded and full with fruity aromas of peach and pomegranate, followed by delicate spice notes and a pleasant freshness created by acidic balance.

Light purple-pink hue, with a smoky reductive aroma, slightly poohy at first pour, then rich and softly-textured, dry and flavoursome on the tongue. A delicious wine, complex and lingering. Turkish Delight and quince paste. The palate is where it all happens, and it’s a glorious drink.
