Sam Kim, Wine Orbit | 95 Points | 5 Stars
Elegant and fabulously expressed, the bouquet shows Gala apple, lemon peel and white floral aromas with a hint
of pomegranate. The palate displays excellent focus and concentration, wonderfully framed by
beautifully pitched acidity, finishing superbly long and refined. At its best: now to 2027.
Candice Chow | 94 Points | 5 Stars
This Isle of Beauty Rose never disappoint, beautifully and intensely aromatic,
flaunting crisp and flirty red fruit on a dusty and silky palate, lending a long thirst-quenching finish.

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.
