Winemaking Notes
Whispering Angel is made from grapes sourced from amongst the most choice vineyards in the vicinity of the Esclans Valley and nearby in the Cotes de Provence region. Harvesting is conducted during the night time, to avoid the heat of the day and to keep the crop fresh. Upon arriving in the cellars, grapes are sorted for both health and quality through optical eye sorting ensuring that the grapes, ultimately selected, are assessed accurately in terms of overall quality. Next is soft crushing followed by temperature reduction from approximately 20 degrees down to 7-8 degrees to lock in freshness and vivacity. Closed circuit pressing is conducted facilitating minimal oxidation that produces free run juice that is vinified in stainless steel, temperature controlled, fermentation tanks, during which battonage is conducted twice weekly. The grapes are fermented in 100% stainless steel to retain the freshness and acidity.

About Rose
Rosé is made from red wine grapes that are fermented on their skins for just a few hours, instead of being fermented on their skins for weeks at a time, like they are during red winemaking. Rosé is also made in a few different styles, from the dry, pale, salmon-pink styles to the bright red and slightly sweeter styles of wine. Either way, Rosé is made and enjoyed all over the world.
