A refined and beautifully textured Provence rosé, the 2025 Rock Angel combines ripe red berries and citrus with floral, mineral and subtle spicy notes. Partially aged in oak, it has a rounded, creamy texture while retaining freshness and energy. The palate is dry and medium-bodied, with vibrant fruit, gentle minerality and a long, savoury finish.
