Domaine Tempier Bandol Rosé 2019
The grapes used to make Domaine Tempier's Bandol 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 dominant presence of Mourvèdre in the blend gives this wine its strong character, balance and complexity. With the addition of Grenache, Cinsault and Carignan to the blend, an intense fruit and floral nose make this an attractive rosé wine. 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.
