Provence is the absolute epicentre of fine Rosé. Warm sunshine and cooling breezes from the Med encourage the elegant fruit flavours the region is known for. It’s the style the rich and famous love to sip as they enjoy the sunshine of the Côte d’Azur. This is a delicious new find from a small cellar in Aix en Provence, next door to where neoclassical painter François-Marius Granet lived (and after whom the cellar is named). Using Provence’s finest varieties for elegant Rosé, Grenache and Syrah, this pretty pink is crafted from hand picked grapes, harvested in the cool of the night. Subtle berry fruit with a classic savoury edge and bright lemony zip – this wine is as delightful on its own as it is with seafood or lighter vegetarian dishes.

Ponting Wines is a collaboration between one of Australia's most celebrated cricketers, Ricky Ponting and Ben Riggs, an award winning Australian winemaker known for uncompromising, high quality wines. Rianna Ponting was central in Ricky's wine journey. Since we first met, Rianna has been influential in broadening my exposure to wine. Together we share a passion for wine, and like most, we both enjoy relaxing on a weekend afternoon together with a glass of wine. - Ricky Ponting

The Angaston Road Growers range is all about honouring the often unsung heroes of the wine world, the growers. It is their intimate knowledge of the local terroir, the changes of season, and the varietals they tend to that ensure the special parcels of fruit that make it to the winery are in tip-top form to make quality wines like this vibrantly pink Rosé. The wine recognises Darren Heidenreich of Possum Creek Vineyards in Angaston, Barossa Valley. And when it came to finding the best selection of Shiraz grapes for this new Rosé, the Angaston Road winemakers knew instantly to reach out to Darren. The single vineyard fruit is crushed and soaked on skins for two hours to extract a lovely pink colour. It's lightly pressed, cold settled and fermented in stainless steel tanks to retain fresh aromas and flavours throughout. Enjoy a fruity nose of strawberry and orange, while flavours of mixed berries, lightly spiced red cherry and zingy citrus burst in your mouth. Grown, crafted and bottled in the Barossa using local glass, capsules and 100% recycled paper labels. Vegan friendly.

Refresh yourself with two cherry-ripe Sangiovese pinks out of Langhorne Creek. The recently landed 92pt Drop Zone, and the aptly named Whole Lotta Love from the dynamic Claymore Wines. It boasts Gold and a raft of high scores. From out west there’s Miles from Nowhere, a two-time Gold medallist from Margaret River and the attractively labelled Alkoomi Grazing from remote Frankland River. From organic Shiraz vineyards in Victoria, there’s Zilzie’s exquisite Butterfly Kiss. And there’s a second new arrival, this time from the Barossa Valley, in Angaston Road Growers – showcasing the exquisite fruit quality of certain very talented vine growers. Superbly priced at $14.49 a bottle.

Versatility is in the make up of a well-made rosé – combine it with the LOW price you see here and without a doubt rosé becomes an ‘everyday’ pleasure. The colours on display make for perfect Summer drinking, although good rosé is rightly increasingly popular all year round. The versatility is epitomised by two flavour-packed and elegant South Australian bestsellers: Patronus and 16 Little Black Pigs. There are two high-pointed rosés from the Limestone Coast, one a pure Merlot, the other a Shiraz “with pristine fruit flavours backed by fine texture and bright acidity,” (Wine Orbit). Howard Vineyard is a high-altitude strawberry and spice-laced drop from Adelaide Hills “Good times ahoy … this is nicely done” (Halliday). It’s great value too! Then, from WA’s Great Southern you have a pure Pinot Noir that won Top Gold and a huge 95pts at Australia’s Cool Climate Wine Show. At $13.99 a bottle these are a steal!
