Appearance The 2023 Whispering Angel Côtes de Provence Rosé showcases a delicate salmon pink hue with the slightest hint of peach, shimmering with the bright clarity we've come to expect from this exceptional Rosé. Its color is brilliant, transitioning from a luminous core to a soft, ethereal rim.

Nose As we approach the glass, this wine swirls gracefully with aromas of red berries, strawberries and ripe watermelon, intermingled with subtle notes of fragrant wildflowers and an elegant hint of fresh herbs. Each inhalation reveals layers of complex earthiness reminiscent of a gentle summer rain over sun-drenched soil, creating a bouquet that is both refreshing and intriguing.

Palate The palate is a harmonious experience, presenting a delightful balance of fruity sweetness and refreshing acidity. Intense flavors of raspberry and juicy peach dance across the tongue, while a touch of mineral crispness is enhanced by saline overtones. Its medium body is perfectly complementing the soft, round tannins, providing a silky mouthfeel that lingers elegantly on the finish, drawing out notes of citrus zest and a hint of saline—a hallmark of its Provençal roots.

Notes Overall The 2023 Whispering Angel is a blend of Grenache and Cinsault and is a wonderful expression of Côtes de Provence. This rosé is a testament to the region's charm, encapsulating the essence of sun-drenched vineyards and gentle breezes. Perfect for a warm afternoon, this wine pairs splendidly with Mediterranean dishes such as grilled octopus drizzled with lemon, a vibrant ratatouille, or even a fresh caprese salad adorned with basil. For a casual gathering, try it with an assortment of charcuterie and creamy cheeses, all of which will elevate the wine's expressive nature. Enjoy it chilled while lounging by the pool or as a delightful accompaniment to seaside picnics.
