Located in the heart of Provence, Vignobles Ravel is a large family-owned vineyard that has been running for 3 generations. The property covers 320 ha & produces different cuvees mainly in rosé, but also in red and white, issued from typical Provence grapes (Cinsault, Grenache, Tibouren, & Syrah). Unexpected by Montaud is a high-end wine, bottled in an exclusive bottle, and composed of our best grapes, giving birth to a fantastic bright new rosé from Provence. Domaine du Tariquet Launches Screw-Top Magnums Level 3, Stand KL-51-14 Highlighting the bright, light aspects of their white wines from south western France, the launching at Vinexpo Hong Kong of a screwcap magnum reflects a wish by the Domaine du Tariquet to offer a wine with “entirely preserved freshness”. The French winemaker has had magnums specifically designed for their Classic and Premières Grives ranges. The Classic embodies the pleasure wine, crisp, dynamic and refreshing; a wine to share amongst friends with oysters, shellfish, sushi and smoked ham. The Premières Grives is the perfect balance between the fruit’s roundness and freshness. “Premières Grives” is now written on two lines and the embossing, enhanced with a gold and chocolate hot stamping, highlights its personality and finesse.
