Château d'Esclans Whispering Angel
Grape varieties
CinsaultSouthern FranceLow in tannin and light in body. Raspberry, redcurrant and black tea. Much of what makes a pale rosé pale.
More Cinsault- GrenacheSpain, or Sardinia
Thin-skinned, pale and high in alcohol. Stewed strawberry, leather and dried herbs. Aragon and Sardinia both claim it and the evidence is not settled.
More Grenache - SyrahSouth-east France
Black fruit and pepper, full-bodied and firmly tannic. Known as Shiraz in Australia. DNA settled a long argument in 1998: its parents are Dureza and Mondeuse Blanche, not Persia.
More Syrah 
VermentinoItalyLime, green apple and a bitter almond finish, with medium-high acid. The same grape as Pigato in Liguria and Favorita in Piedmont.
