"It’s fabulously delicate, showing pomegranate, lemon peel and white floral nuances on the nose, followed by a concentrated palate offering excellent fruit purity and poise. Finely textured and linear, the wine delivers elegant fruit flavours with juicy acidity, finishing persistent and mouth-watering. At its best: now to 2026" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Oct 2023

"Bright, even, pale salmon. The nose is elegantly presented with intense aromas of field strawberry, cherry, watermelon and rose. Medium-light bodied, aromas of field strawberry, cherry and watermelon are refreshing, rich rose nuances linger with a touch of peppery spice. The mouthfeel is silky, flushed with crisp acidity and elegantly presented fruit notes. A thirst-quenching finish unfolds subtle pepper dusting and linearity. An excellent Isle Of Beauty Rosé vintage, harmonious and delicate flavours on a smooth flow and refreshing finish" Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews, Oct 2023

"Seductive scents of white blossoms and roses are laced with ripe red berry fruits scents of cherry then strawberry. Other aromas of wet stone and and a soft savoury quality add depth and expression. On the palate a smooth and silky mouthfeel, dry, crisp and fruity wine with flavours that reflect the bouquet. Balanced and well made , a rather perfect summer tipple. Best drinking from 2023 through end of summer 2025" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Oct 2023

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.

Isle of Beauty is the evocative name given to the French island of Corsica, located in the Mediterranean Sea. This is where winemaker David Clouston learnt his craft and became passionate about Rosé.

The fruit was harvested from the Southern Valleys early in the morning to ensure it remained cool and retained purity.

This year’s harvest stands out as one of the best in the past decade - allowing for perfect picking conditions. The Indian summer, followed by a cooler autumn, allowed for an even, slower ripening period, producing highly concentrated fruit with distinctive flavours. As a result, the wines are pure and powerful, with lifted aromatics, lively acidity and great energy.

Fermented cold in stainless steel to accentuate fruit purity. The wine was then aged on light yeast lees for three months to gain complexity, mouthfeel, and increased salinity.
