Isle of Beauty Rosé 2023

$22.00

Pale salmon pink in colour, this Mediterranean – style Rosé is savoury with aromas of freshly cut watermelon, overlaying nuances of thyme and wild strawberries. The palate is zesty, bursting with crushed red berries, Himalayan salt, and a sherbet touch. This elegant Rosé has a chalky texture, and a salivating, persistent finish.

 Pale pink, it is vibrantly fruity, with fresh, very generous strawberry, watermelon, peach and spice flavours, showing excellent delicacy, and a dry, harmonious finish. Already delicious, it offers top drinking through the summer of 2023-24.

Winemaking

Treated as a white wine in the cellar, this rosé was pressed off skins early and fermented cold in stainless steel to accentuate fruit purity. The wine was then aged on light yeast lees for two months to gain complexity and increase mouthfeel.
