Villa Des Anges Cinsault Rose

Villa Des Anges Cinsault Rosé is a modern, Southern French rosé that focuses on clarity, freshness, and drinkability. Sourced from Cinsault vines rooted in gravelly and sandy hillside soils in Languedoc, this wine channels the warmth of the Mediterranean climate into pure, bright fruit rather than heaviness.

In the glass, it shows a very pale salmon hue, hinting at its delicate, crisp character. The nose opens with ripe strawberry and red currant, layered with notes of melon, peach, and subtle floral tones reminiscent of spring blossoms. These aromas are not overdone or candied; they’re fresh and precise, setting the stage for a clean, dry palate. 

On the palate, Villa Des Anges Cinsault Rosé is light-bodied and intensely refreshing. Bright acidity lifts flavors of red berries and citrus, while a gentle, soft texture keeps it approachable and easy to enjoy. The finish is brisk and mouthwatering, encouraging another sip rather than weighing the palate down. A modest alcohol level, typically around 11.5%, makes it an ideal option when you want a glass (or two) that stays refreshing and food-friendly. 

This rosé is highly versatile at the table. It works effortlessly as an aperitif, poured on its own for warm evenings, picnics, or casual gatherings. Its bright fruit and crisp structure pair well with salads, grilled shrimp, fish tacos, sushi, charcuterie, and lighter chicken or turkey dishes. It is equally comfortable at a relaxed backyard cookout or a simple weeknight dinner. 

Behind the wine is winemaker Jeff Carrel, known for crafting expressive, value-driven wines in the region. Working at the Espitalet des Anges estate near Capestang, on land that once hosted an ancient Roman villa, he focuses on preserving the natural character of the grapes and the vineyard site: night harvesting to keep fruit fresh, gentle pressing, and cool fermentation to lock in aromatics and crispness.
