Description
Product Description Powerful, edgy, and layered with attitude, Rock Angel is a rose for those seeking more depth and structure in their glass. This refined yet robust wine is crafted primarily from Chateau d’Esclans’ own vineyards, alongside select parcels from the Cotes de Provence region, giving rose lovers a richer, more complex profile. Harvesting is conducted with precision: estate-grown grapes are picked in the cool mornings, while select sourced grapes are harvested at night to preserve their freshness. Rock Angel’s complexity shines with partial oak aging, adding a creamy texture without overpowering the wine’s fresh vibrancy. On the palate, it reveals rich, racy layers with flinty minerality and delicate notes of red berries, floral hints, and a subtle spice. The finish is long, silky, and refreshing, sustained by firm acidity that leaves a lasting impression. Elegant and powerful, Rock Angel stands out as a sophisticated choice, balancing freshness with a distinct depth that makes it a versatile pairing for fine dining. Maker Chateau d’Esclans was founded by Sacha Lichine, a member of one of the wine world’s legendary families. Nestled in Provence, just a short drive from the glamour of Cannes and Saint-Tropez, the estate has been instrumental in transforming the global perception of Provence rose. Known for its innovative winemaking techniques and focus on quality, Chateau d’Esclans has led a rose renaissance with wines marked by elegance, depth, and complexity. The estate’s roses are celebrated worldwide for their refined balance and richness. The Vineyard Crafted predominantly from Grenache, which thrives in Provence’s sun-kissed vineyards, Rock Angel includes complementary varieties such as Rolle, Cinsault, Syrah, Carignan, Mourvedre, and Tibouren to add depth and nuance. The grapes are meticulously hand-harvested at dawn to preserve their delicate flavours and aromas. They undergo gentle pressing to extract vibrant juice, which ferments in temperature-controlled stainless steel. A portion of the wine is then aged in French oak and undergoes malolactic fermentation, softening the acidity and enhancing its creamy texture.
