Aquarius is one of the great wines made by the McPherson clan. You may know the name – they are the incredible team behind our bestselling The Full Fifteen. There’s no end to the talents of Chief Winemaker Jo Nash who has a long list of accolades to her name and crafts this excellent rosé too. It’s dominated by Shiraz, with supporting roles from Sangiovese and Petit Verdot – all carefully selected from Central Victoria.

The juice is quickly run off the grape skins to obtain a good kick of pink, then cool fermented for the perfect balance of freshness and fruit-filled flavour. Bright, zestful and dry with aromas of raspberries, strawberries and a touch of white pepper spice. Chill down well, sip solo, or pair with a quiche or Thai curry.

Roche Bellemont is one to savour. It’s handcrafted using the pick of the vintage – Grenache and Syrah, plus a little Mourvèdre and Vermentino, from the oldest vines. You’ll find this pink’s subtle berry fruit is complemented by complex, creamy savoury hints, a lift of lavender and wild herbs with underlying brisk minerality. Such elegance and finesse, as you’d expect from a ‘tête de cuvée’! Superb with seafood rice.

We’ve long been champions of the great wines from Jaime Quendera, as he weaves his magic in various cellars in southern Portugal. Here he’s worked with the team at the renowned Co-operative Pegões, listed as the ‘best co-op in Portugal’ a few years back. Sourcing the grapes from the Setúbal Peninsula, he’s blended top native varieties Castelão, Aragonez and Touriga Nacional.

This popular blend of local grapes makes an expressive, fresh, and fruity rosé. As Jaime says about the region and its ideal conditions and fabulous grapes, "wines from the Setúbal – lucky us, lucky you". Enjoy this lively pink well chilled, to best taste the burst of crisp summer berries that cascade from the glass. Sip solo or with salads or a light seafood platter.

Provence is France’s premier rosé region and Domaine de Paris is one of its most stylish and elegant. A previous vintage even gained mention in the prestigious US journal Wine Spectator: “Very good – a wine with special qualities. Dry and refined, with dried berry and cherry flavors and plenty of minerally notes.” The estate has been owned since 1900 by three generations of the Brun family.

50 year old Syrah and Grenache vines produce fruit of superb concentration and impeccable purity. There’s a tantalising steeliness to the structure, a flinty backbone coupled with wild strawberries and a lovely savoury note. Fine Provence rosé is not just for summer! The locals enjoy it all year round, on its own or with seafood, chicken or ratatouille.
