2023 Caves d’Esclans Rock Angel Rose

Slippery textured and concentrated with a long, dry, refreshing finish.

Described as a more complex and structured style of Rose by the winery, the Rock Angel is produced from grapes primarily sourced from the vineyards of Chateau d’Esclans in addition to selected vineyards in the vicinity of the Esclans Valley and nearby in the Cotes de Provence region.
Salmon pink in colour. Peach, strawberry and blood orange aromas mix with wet slate notes. Slippery textured and concentrated, the palate is layered with fleshy peach and strawberry fruits. Some blood orange and wet stone elements linger underneath. Brisk acidity with a long, dry, refreshing finish that carries gorgeous shape.
Drink over the next year.
Alc. 13.5%

A well-balanced and flavorful rosé with notes of red currants, candied raspberries and mild spices on the nose. It’s medium-bodied and focused, with a delicious stream of forest berries and a tangy, mouthwatering finish. Drink now.
