Pale golden pink to pale coral pink in color. Herbal notes in nose. Stone fruit, honeycomb and lemon with some minerality in mouth. With acidity a good wine for food. Two Corsican varietals - 40% Niellucciu, 30% Sciaccarellu - shape the flavor profile, presumably, but these are new to me. Add 15% Merlot, 15% Grenache. Different but balanced dry rose, well-made and versatile

Interesting “Island of Beauty” Rose’ blend of Corsican varietals Niellucciu (40%) and Sciaccarellu (30%) and International varietals Grenache (15%) and Merlot (15%). Pale salmon/pink color. Aromas of fresh red berries and mint. Same red berries on the palate with touches of wet slate. Long mineral laiden finish. Fruit forward, but well balanced, dry and harmonious. Crisp and easy drinking. Excellent QPR!
