Domaine Barcelo
Ile de Beaute Rosé Blend
France
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
