Chateau D’Esclans, Whispering Angel

This is the introductory rose wine from the estate in the Cotes de Provence owned by Sascha Lichine.

Chateau D’Esclans, Whispering Angel is a beautiful light rose wine. Made with a blend of Grenache, Rolle, Cinsault, Syrah and Mourvèdre grapes harvested by hand between sunrise and noon. Small crates are used to avoid oxidation. The grapes are destemmed, slightly crushed at a controlled temperature to avoid coloration. There is no wooden fermentation or barrel storage in the process. The wine is made in steel vats.

The result is a delicate wine that is pale in colour, has an aroma which is light and elegant with a hint of strawberry and has a dry, fresh, fruitiness taste. If not drinking it on its own, this wine would be a great pairing with seafood, lightly grilled meats or summer salads.

This wine is available at Rose-wine.com or on Wine-searcher.com.
