Tavel: Domaine Maby La Forcadière 2011

This resplendent rosé wine is made from 9 different grape varieties - principally Grenache Noir and Cinsault but Bourboulenc, Carignan, Clairette, Grenache Blanc, Mourvèdre, Picpoul and Syrah all play a supporting role.
Arguably a little fuller and more refined than the rosé Lirac from Domaine Maby, this too is a berry-scented belter with bags of ripe red fruit and a savoury, dry finish. A large dish of roasted Mediterranean vegetables with crumbled feta cheese, couscous and a harissa dressing would be an apposite accompaniment.
