Delicate is the middle name of this breezy, summery rosé with its dusty strawberry scent, honeydew melon and mandarin skin aromas. Walks a fine, straight line of soft, juicy acidity across the palate. JENI PORT, The Wine Companion

Limpid orange. Mineral-accented blood orange, strawberry, floral and succulent herb scents show fine definition and pick up a spicy nuance with air. Chewy and densely packed yet energetic and sharply focused on the palate, offering vibrant red berry, bitter cherry, citrus pith and honeysuckle flavors and a deeper peach pit flourish. The mineral and floral notes return on the very long, precise finish. JOSH RAYNOLDS, vinous.com

Shiraz based Rose sourced from the Barrecas vineyard in Geographe. Picked early to retain natural acid, and pressed without sulphur. Savoury palate with bursts of dried strawberry. The 2023 is the best to date, picked at the perfect time, giving the wine great balance and vibrancy.

Bit expensive for a first release Australian Rose? Sure is. Here is why. The same fruit that goes in to her Reserve Grenache from that 150 year old plot is used here. That fruit aint cheap. On top of that she only realises about half the yield from the pressing regime. So, production costs here are expensive. Is it worth it? Yes! This was the wine that was the real catalyst for the offer. I will keep a lid on my usual excitable self but I don't want to undersell this either. This is a different beast than the overwhelming majority of rose made here in Oz.
Bone dry and with a sensational sense of zip and liveliness, plenty of pretty Grenache perfume and bright red fruits. A big punch of ruby red grapefruit kicks in as wine quickly expands and really delivers on the promise of punchy, ripe, rich fruit and a subtle creamy textural element. It's bold and solidly built with a real sense of presence. Very long and vivid with an incisive whack of energetic, snappy fruit on the finish. It Australian rose Jim, but not as we know it. If you buy good Bandol you should get on this train asap, it rolls all the way to flavour town. ROSCOE

This rosé was always dwelling in the back of my mind as something that would one day come through me and into the bottle. There were no shortcuts here, this wine was made with all the Gucci trimmings. Whole bunch pressed, 50% pressings yield, 150 year old bush vine Grenache barrel fermented in new Stockinger oak, it's rosé in full wine form. Textured, rich, floral, layered, powerful and long. When rosé is made with this much intention a delicious seriousness is captured in every drop.
Winemaking Rosé: Whole bunch pressed to new Stockinger oak for the early part of the fermentation and then went through malo and élevaged in old Chardonnay barrels, bâttonaged over 6 months at least once a week, sulphured to stop wine from going through full malo because I felt the wine was in a good spot with texture SIERRA

Pale orange. Displays an array of intensely perfumed red berry and citrus fruit aromas. Along with suggestions of honeysuckle, nectarine and fennel. Juicy and seamless in texture, giving deep pit fruit and raspberry flavors and a bracing touch of orange pith. Echoes the floral note on a wonderfully long, smooth finish that leaves a hint of honey behind. JOSH RAYNOLDS

This is a wine of slick fruit, beautifully framed with the finest spiderweb of gently prying phenolics. Jubilant, lively and uber refreshing with a solid punch of red grapefruit and tart red fruits that just sing along the superbly long and overtly mineral finish. It's so refreshing and so buoyant (how can you tell the difference between a girl ant and a boy ant?... if it sinks it's a girl ant, if it floats its…) that it leaves your mouth kind of quivering. This is one of the more radiant and bright expressions of this site I can recall. Man, cooler, longer vintages are a welcome trend. ROSCOE

This comes from a tinly vineyard of 80yo goblet-pruned, organic Juan García planted in gravel and granitic sand at 710 metres altitude.

This is a perfumed, incredibly interesting dry pink. Woody like last year’s old red apples, and indeed a tad cider sour, it’s delicately floral, with orchard smells, apple tree leaves, madder rose, hibiscus. The palate is incredibly fresh, brimming sweet-and-sour and ending with the chalky grip of stony minerality and neat fruit acid. The long, squeaky finish follows a gentle savoury fruit heart. Never strict, it’s light and has excellent linger and sliding release despite the utter absence of fructose or fill. The memory of raspberry nothingness in the mouth; a touch of wildness, only bordering on unhinged! SCOTT WASLEY, The Spanish Acquisition

The Little G that all the homies want to be.  Made with a lot of care considering its level – grapes are hand harvested and manually sorted for starters.  Provence style through and through, it’s of beautiful salmon shade, with a nose of zesty citrus, mandarin and satsuma, the palate fruit driven and crunchy, with some of Gueissard’s house style showing through – a teeny bit of guava skin, red currants, tangarine/mandarin juice, and a herbal undertow.  Summer in a bottle.

Strong currency in regenerative agriculture and progressive environmental considerations from Hither & Yon. Here’s aglianico in a rose, pressed off slowly over/after three hours.

It’s fresh and fruity, bright and lovely. Rosy fruit characters, floral and cherry-imbued, licks of Campari and pomegranate too. A bit of grip makes things nice, a light chew and pucker making for good texture. A light dusting of peppery/clovey spice in the mix too. Just-so, easy to like, a bit serious, plenty drinkable. MIKE BENNIE, The Wine Front

Mazi Wines is a collaboration between Alex Katsaros and Toby Porter - life long friends who have realised a dream to make wine together. Toby has been a winemaker at d’Arenberg in McLaren Vale for over14 years while Alex has been making wine and working on alternative variety projects both here and abroad for the last decade. All wines under the Mazi label are made dry in style and focus on food friendliness for you to enjoy the way we do – at the table with friends. The 2022 Limited Release rosé was made from handpicked Mourvedre and Grenache grapes grown in the heart of McLaren Vale.

The fruit was gently whole bunch pressed to delicately extract the spice driven, savoury juice synonymous with Mourvedre grown in the Vale. The very pale salmon hues are the result of the gentle extraction and minimal skin contact prior to fermentation.

Made from vineyards located in the Luberon and the Bouches du Rhone this descendant of Saint Max is made from 30% Grenache, 30% Caladoc, 30% Merlot, 10% Syrah. 100% de-stemmed grapes followed by direct pressing in pneumatic presses and given a short skin contact to ensure a pale and bright hue as well as an intense aromatic expression. Cool fermentation in tank at 15c with no malo in order to preserve the natural acidity and freshness of the wine’s aromas. Ageing on fine lees in tanks for 2 months then early bottling in December of the year of harvest.

Pale and fresh. Watermelon rind, pink grapefruit, redcurrant, a pretty herb and floral top note. Cool flavour profile, though flavour it does have, powdery texture, clean acidity, and a zesty finish of good length. Refreshing. Lovely to guzzle. GARY WALSH, The Wine Front

42% Nielluccio, 33% Syrah, 20% Grenache, 5% Sciaccarellu. Screwcap.

A sound introduction to Corsican rosé, this showcases the island’s more rocky and chiselled take on the style (relative to Provence).  Tight, tense, saline, with pink grapefruit and watermelon and citrus rind, it’s underpinned with granitic minerals and bone dry.  The international varieties in the blend give a little more generosity around its fine, lean feel – only 11.5% alcohol.  Sophisticated IGP wine.

Hugh and Jane Faulkner fell in love with a vineyard, situated on the foothills of the Masif des Maures, in the centre of the Var, and settled at the property in 1989. Their eldest son Julian would eventually take over the running of the vineyard in 2000. A shrewd wine businessman and talented vigneron, Julian established the Jules label with the mission to craft delicious, accessible, and great value wines with single estate personality.

Another killer Rose from Jules! The 2022 is dangerously easy to drink. Hints of citrus peel and cranberry/red currant fruits on the nose. Strawberries and cream, sea spray, and slightly herbaceous on the palate, with a focused salinity. The personality of the 2022 is certainly of more precision and detail than previous releases. You would be crazy to not have a dozen of waiting in the wings for every time someone drops by for a drink on the patio or that last minute BBQ invite. PWS

A lovely lift of red cherries, pomegranate and white nectarines leads into a fleshy and textured core. Subtle herbal tones of fennel and dried thyme and wild strawberries join in the chorus too. There's presence and intensity thanks to the riper 2022 vintage, balanced by a spine of chalky acidity. Pleasing phenolics on the finish add a tantalising chew, like biting through peach skins. A hint of white pepper to finish adds a twist (reminds me of adding pepper to strawberries, shouldn't work but it does!). Keep this delightful thirst slaker on hand this summer. GABRIELLE POY, PWS

Around 60% Grenache with 30% Cinsault and a touch of the traditional Tibourenc grape the harvests are done at night to maintain freshness and the light maceration’s performed in temperature-controlled tanks to help maintain a wonderful lift to the wines. This results in a complex Rose that skirts the line beautifully between the richer Rose’s of Bandol but with the more delicate hand of Provence. PWS

Score awarded by the Halliday tasting panel at the annual Awards judging. Jeni Port writes: A blend of shiraz, cabernet sauvignon and sangiovese. The pressure is on Chris Smales, the new winemaker at Sutton Grange, with his first vintage release, but he delivers in maintaining this popular rosé's class. Attractive tea rose hues. Gentle, lifted aromas of raspberry, wild strawberry and lively spice. Love the smoothness, the inviting spice, the bright red berries and clean acid crunch to taste. And so, so versatile at the table. (97) PANEL DECISION, Halliday Wine Companion

Organic, biodynamic and vegan friendly, the Casa Lluch is from winemaker Bodegas Enguera in Valencia. Made from locally certified organically grown grapes the Bodega was founded in 1999 and fruit is sourced only from their own vineyards where they can maintain strict controls on the quality of fruit and it shows.

A ripping little Spanish rosado that will have you coming back for more. Strawberries and fresh picked raspberries with a little hint of peppery spice. Lovel lush fruit that flows a little too easy coating with crunchy red berries a plenty with a raspberry coulis finish. It's the simple things in life that are often the best and this rosado is one of those.

The 2022 Pinot Noir Blondie is a rare Blanc de Noir from New Zealand's Central Otago region. It's a crisp style; the creamy palate allies with fresh strawberry, white peach and pear flavors. Hand-picked and whole bunch pressed, the Pinot Noir fruit has infused a light peach color to the wine while the fruit has remained delicate with the merest of grip rather than any real tannic presence. It's a well-made, clean wine that will sell by the gallon. REBECCA GIBB, Vinous

Fresh strawberry and Bosc pear, a little musk and perfume. Fresh and lively, clean acidity, a pear skin grip, pomegranate/watermelon and peach iced tea, nice bit of chew to it, yet so finely balanced. Finish is refreshing too. Combines complexity with ease of drinking to wonderful effect. GARY WALSH, The Wine Front

It’s a more mouth-filling and juicy number than last year. I love those soft, caressing, slightly phenolic aspects. Alright, and I hope this is ok, I am going to steal Gary Walsh’s comment from above, because it’s perfect for this wine “peach iced tea” is just right, it has that peach juice and tea like, faint grip. Refreshing, oozing class, brimming with lively acidity and an overall upbeat feel to it. Finishes clean and bright as it started. This is world class Rose and  I recommend it whole heartedly. ROSCOE

James Adams is the new winemaker at Turkey Flat, this being the first vintage under his regime.

Red fruit and tangerine, a little perfume and spice – maybe a subtle sort of a curry leaf or lemongrass thing happening. Soft but with nice grip and crunch to texture, a fine chalkiness, subdued but kind of juicy red fruit with a fresh finish of good length, a dash of savoury complexity as it goes. Lovely. GARY WALSH, The Wine Front

Nebbiolo has to be the ultimate rose' varietal. Tart and textural, refreshing and regal. Fruit sourced from the  Alpine Valley this year, it had a distinctive and pleasing wild strawberry aromatic in the winery. Slow and  natural fermentation in tank to preserve the aromatics. Left with a barely perceptible touch of residual sugar  to balance the tart natural acidity and generous yet finely shaped tannins as a finished wine it still has the  wild red fruits but has also developed refreshing amaro and grapefruit characters.

This is a serious rose with delicate floral, strawberry fruit characters and a fresh dry finish. Rimauresq takes its name from the "Real Mauresque" which is the river which flows through the vineyards. Its exceptional 'terroir', recognised through its Cru Classé status, results in wines of elegance, complexity and purity. It is blend of 43% Grenache, 24% Cinsault, 10% Mourvedre. PWS

In 2021 this was made from low cropping Shiraz for juicy flavours, and 11% Cabernet Franc for aromatic tension and structure. This rosé is made in the traditional style - after harvesting, the grapes were crushed then pressed off to stainless steel tank to undergo a slow and cool fermentation. It was then bottled early to preserve freshness.

Mordoree Cotes du Rhone Dame Rousse Rose is made from 40% Grenache, 35% Syrah, 15% Cinsault, 5% Carignan, 5% Mourvèdre

100% Mourvèdre Terroir From the granite soil that sits over layers of ancient river gravel in the Box Grove Vineyards in Nagambie, Victoria, on Taungurung land. Grapes grown by Sarah Gough of the Box Grove Vineyard. She uses her own compost and focuses on a well aerated canopy to reduce the need for sulphur and copper. Hand picked and whole bunch pressed before being Transferred to seasoned French oak barrels. Long ferment with indigenous yeasts. Long contact with lees and solids, no stirring. Racked just before bottling.

 

Made from 40% Mourvedre, 30% Cinsault, 20% Grenache and 10% Carignan.

The vineyards of the 45-hectare Domaine la Suffrene are spread over the communes of La Cadiere-d'Azur and Castellet in the Provencal appellation of Bandol. The estate is run by Cedric Gravier and although the first estate-bottled wines were released only in 1996, the domaine is now one of the leading producers of the region.

Drawn from dry-grown, bush vines on the ironstone gravel hilltop of their Powderbark vineyard.  It’s rosé that’s built from the ground up, born from the same level of viticultural detail that goes into all their wines. Seasoned with a little Grenache and Vermentino, co-fermented naturally and elevated in old oak, the result is pale and precise, textural and savoury with the inherent drinkability that lies at the heart of every great rosé.

30% each Mourvédre, Grenache, Syrah and 10% Cinsault. Screwcap.
Great value for AOP Côtes de Provence given the continued upward price climb of this appellation.

A direct nose of brine and flint and grapefruit.  Drive and power upfront with orange zest and pink grapefruit flavours, though gives way to the more classic Provence experience of strawberries, cream and garrigue herbs as it washes over the palate.  A decent saline lick runs throughout; has individualism among a crowded field with enough freshness and punch to stand out.

60% Mourvédre, 30% Cinsault, 10% Grenache. Screwcap.

The most classically Bandol release we've seen from this young gun, new wave producer - for us, driving flintiness is what defines the rosés of this region and sees them regarded as pinnacle expressions, with that character here in spades.  The nose leaps out with cream, florals and cut passionfruit, the palate woven with quince, guava, red currants and again, passionfruit.  Length, complexity and presence here though super refreshing all the way through.
