Chateau D'esclans Whispering Angel Rose 2021

"Aromas of red apple, baked strawberry, orange peel and rose. Medium-bodied with a solid core of fresh fruit and berries. Subtle intensity follows through to a generous finish. Pretty. 80% grenache, 10% cinsault, 10% rolle. Drink now."

"The 2021 Whispering Angel blends Grenache, Cinsault, Rolle, Syrah and Tibouren. It's always an extremely refined rosé, but this vintage seems to add an extra ounce of firmness and savoury, food-friendly character. It is aromatic, with pomegranate and fine raspberry and floral aspects, but an intriguing mineral salts nuance too. In the mouth it has that delicious freshness, quite vivacious with tart red berries and zippy citrus and, again, a stony, lightly salty and mineral finish."
