A crisp glass of rosé on a summer’s day is a favourite drink of many and the new vintage of celebrity favourite Whispering Angel has hit the shelves just in time for the summer festivities.

Chateau D’Esclans, the brand that brought us Whispering Angel rosé, has brought out its 18th vintage of the wine which is credited with starting an international rosé trend.

The wine, made in La Motte En Provence, is made up of three types of grapes, Grenache, Cinsault, and Rolle (Vermentino), which are grown on 10 to 12-year-old vines to curate the perfect sweetness.

The new vintage is characterised by great roundness, making for a wine with a very nice aroma on the nose that lingers on the palate. The wine has notes of ripe citrus and red fruits. Sounds good to us!

Whispering Angel became the drink of the summer several years ago and many wine fans have since enjoyed a glass of rosé while out for dinner or making the most of the warm weather on a terrace.

The brand says it ‘beautifully compliments Mediterranean cuisine, charcuterie, and Middle Eastern or Asian cuisine such as Thai, Vietnamese or sushi,’ so it’s no surprise that so many women have opted for a glass of rosé while catching up with pals.

The latest vintage marks the end of the harvest, when the brand brings out a new-aged drink every year.

Today rosé makes up more than 15 percent of the wine market worldwide, a huge jump to where it was before 2006.

The latest vintage of Whispering Angel is already on shelves nationwide in Supervalu, Tesco, Dunnes Stores and Brown Thomas. Now just to get the girls together for a catchup…

Remember to always drink responsibly.
