Enjoy a delicious 'Italian-style' pink blend of Aglianico and Sangiovese, from McLaren Vale's dynamic Hither & Yon, with scores of 91 & 92pts. "“74/26% aglianico/sangiovese from the home Sand Road vineyard. A burnt orange tone and a savoury cast. Redcurrant and pomegranate, sour cherry, cool peach, rose, rhubarb and red apple skin. This is firmly pitched to the table. More power to that. There’s abundant fruit and flavour, but there’s a linearity of structure, fine tannin and acid in league, intertwined. Bring the food and it will sing.92pts.” (Marcus Ellis, The Halliday Wine Companion).It is "…fresh, juicy and crisp but it also has good spread (of flavour) through the finish, which is always the surest sign of quality. Red cherry, fennel, watermelon and an array of fragrant, Italian herb characters – and a flash of blood orange too – all make for highly enjoyable drinking." (Campbell Mattinson) It's also deliciously food-friendly, as Shanteh Wale writes in The South Australian Wine Guide 2026: "A lovely way to enjoy brunch, as this wine will work with fruit, fresh cheese and sheets of smoked salmon too. Drink now-2027. 91pts.”

2021 saw the brand new release of Sam Trimboli’s first ever Rosé – and it was a smash hit! Customers went nuts, ordering case after case after case. And it wasn’t just customers who loved this new pink, the wine show judges did too. The Pink Duck Rosé waddled away with Gold and a massive 95pt at the Royal Queensland Wine Show. The 2022 is the fresh follow up vintage of the Pink Duck – highly anticipated by many to be another showstopping blush. True to Sam’s Italian heritage, it’s made from nearly all Montepulciano with a splash of Vermentino to add extra lemony zip. A pretty hue, lovely ripe fruit and zesty freshness. No need to fly north for this one, it’s glorious drinking in any season.

Be Bold. Be Brave. Be Courageous. That’s the motto of Kings’ Creed in South Australia’s beautiful Adelaide Hills district. Their aim is to “craft small batch wines of quality with bold character.” The wines are made by the legendary Ben Riggs, so that’s a creed that will be easy to live up to. Their gorgeous Rosé certainly shows lots of wonderful bold berry flavours on a deliciously tang, crisp palate. Chill, sip and enjoy!

The McPherson family's new Aquarius range is made for enjoying right here, right now. Fresh, vibrant and filled to the brim with flavour, they’re wines to share with fun folk in the mood for good times. Their Rosé is certainly that and more. Lovely strawberry and cream notes with a little zip too!

Fourth-generation winemaker Laurent Guillot infuses his family’s Burgundian flair into this rosé from his Languedoc estate. With a family estate rooted in Burgundy and Beaujolais, Laurent Guillot could easily have stayed in this prestigious part of France and focused on Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. However, he was keen to look further afield to the vineyards of better-value southern France. And that’s where he’s stayed, coaxing out delicate fruit elegance from the likes of Grenache, Syrah and Cinsault. Chais du Moulin is a delicate rosé, with the most delicate of blushes made from a 50/50 blend of Cinsault and Grenache, not unlike you’d find in the finest estates of Provence. With zesty red berry and citrus fruit, this is a very pretty pink, ideal as an apéritif or with charcuterie, white fish and lighter dishes.
