From Australia’s WA delight in a dazzling example from Marchand & Burch in WA showing “red jellies to summer berries dusted in spices and beeswax” (Halliday), and a tempting Tempranillo Rosé from Vinaceous Wines that Halliday calls “Pleasing stuff.” Rianna & Ricky Ponting’s Rianna Rosé (made by the great Ben Riggs) from South Australia’s beautiful Fleurieu Peninsula is stylish and elegant. Head to France for more style and elegance in two sublime Provence Rosés, plus the ever-popular Cabalié, from the sun-blessed south, laden with wild herbs and spice-rich fruit.

Our Buyer Sarah has discovered the apogee of Provence rosé – a Coeur de Cuvée of the vintage. Using purely old-vine grapes, mostly Grenache and Syrah, from the finest plots, Roche Bellemont offers subtle berry notes with mineral freshness.
You'll love this alluring 90pt, Great Value Tempranillo rosé from the dynamic Vinaceous Wines, it's "cool and refreshing with sour and sweet red cherry fruitiness abundant" (Halliday)
A delightfully refreshing rosé. With the light pink hue of many popular French Provence Rosés, it's elegant, gently perfumed and incredibly drinkable. Mouth-filling flavour with a crisp finish, a wine that beckons you to have a second glass.
A Provençal classic from the home of France’s finest quality rosés. Saint Tropez has been famous for the style since the 19th century, yet only one cellar may proudly bear the glitterati town’s name on its label. Characterful, elegant and stylish.
Xavier Paul (respectfully ‘Monsieur Paul’, he's now in his 90s) has been making brilliant wines at his family estate since he was a boy. His Grenache and Cinsault vines are nearly as old as he is, making full-of-flavour, refreshing Provence rosé.
With three Golds and a score of 90pts, this is “…one attractive wine. … a fab dinner guest. 90pts” (WinePilot). Scarlet Ladybird from Zonte’s Footstep is always an attractive choice for lovers of fresh pinks.
