If you enjoy Provence rosé, you’ve almost certainly heard of Whispering Angel, which is the star of social-media feeds through the summer. This is the next step up, made by the same winery and winemaker. It’s more structured, complex and rich, thanks to some oak influence. It has a full body and flavours of roses, strawberry, raspberry and nectarine. Expect a fine minerality which pairs beautifully with shellfish.
Grape Variety: Grenache, with Syrah, Cinsault, Rolle
