Two Rivers, Isle of Beauty Rosé, Southern Valleys, Marlborough, New Zealand 2023

The Isle of Beauty rosé is a nod to winemaker Dave Clouston’s time spent in Corsica, which spurred on his love of pale, dry, flavoursome rosés. As befitting its stylised strawberry-shaped bottle base, there’s plenty of berry fruit plus ripe peach and thyme notes. A blend of Pinot Noir, Syrah and Viognier, this is a fragrant, pretty wine with a chalky texture and crisp, dry finish.
