36/23/21/20% pinot noir/tempranillo/merlot/trollinger. Hand-picked fruit, gently crushed. Free-run juice fermented in stainless steel with cultured yeasts. 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

This has the Julian Langworthy trademark rose-gold blush and texture. The 88% sangiovese is destemmed and left on lees for three months; the 8% tempranillo is whole-bunch pressed to old oak. The remaining 4% is grenache. This comes together beautifully. Fragrant with florals, red licorice, freshly grated ginger and a tinge of red berries. The palate is perfectly modulated between the super-refreshing acidity and its creamy texture. JANE FAULKNER, Halliday Wine Companion

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

Younger nebbiolo fruit that was whole-bunch pressed into older wood and fermented wild. A bright, pale, salmon pink. Wild strawberries, subtle charcuterie, orange peel and bay leaf can all be found on the nose of this very sophisticated nebbiolo rosé. Dry, textured and refreshing, with a hint of savoury spice on the long, gently grippy finish. PHILIP RICH, James Halliday

85% Shiraz / 15% Pinot Noir.100% Moorabool Valley, Geelong. Barrel Fermented & aged for 4 months on full lees.

Shiraz and pinot noir from Beechworth is the deal. Ready to roll rose.

It’s delicious! A gentle feast, but one with lots to put on the plate. Cherry, cranberry, rose hip tea, a strawberry sweetness in a dry, ostensibly savoury style. Length and beautiful, succulent texture, great sense of freshness and lift. Crafted, styled, preened and pretty, this is a moreish and wonderful thing to drink. MIKE BENNIE, The Wine Front

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.

Mataro sourced from Aldo's vineyard in the southern Barossa parish of Williamstown. Pale salmon in the glass with notes of redcurrant, raspberry, red cherry and citrus fruits along with hints of white flowers, marzipan, stone, raspberry cream and a whiff of freshly cut fennel. Super-sapid porcelain acidity drives this along nicely, and there's a wee slink of texture to boot, finishing dry, red-fruited and clanging for some food. DAVE BROOKES, James Halliday

Andrew Quin  and his wife Sky are a dynamic couple behind Quin Wines. Both born and raised in Melbourne they purchased a 7 hectare vineyard in Seppeltfield in the heart of the Barossa Valley with the goal of making exceptional wines. As head winemaker for both Hentley Farm and Ricca Terra, Andrew knows how to make wine, and works closely with the viticulturalists to ensure he always has the best fruit to work with.

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

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

This is from Owen Latta’s family label here with the Eastern Peake range with the fruit for this wine is grown by long term friends Frank & Kerry Walsh, directly over the road on the same soil type as Eastern Peake weathered basalt on grey loam. Frank first established with pinot noir in 1995 then a second 1 acre planting in 2003 with Syrah (Clone PT23).

The Syrah  was whole bunch pressed, fermented in large format Stockinger Austrian oak with indigenous yeasts, 11 months lees contact, racked, estate bottled. A small amount of sulphur post malo & pre bottling. No fining, filtering or Tinkering. Thoughtfully produced to reflect on where it was grown.

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.

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.

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.

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.
