A bright, fresh and zippy rosé with juicy red fruit and generous charm, made from predominantly pinot noir blended with pinot gris. A delicious taste of the charm and friendliness that New Zealand wine does so well.

Wonderfully refreshing rosé from Lyrarakis on Crete made using 100% liatiko. Raspberry, redcurrant and strawberry notes on the nose complement the refreshing, mineral palate. Winners of our 2024 Climate & Nature fund, Lyrarakis will use our support to purchase a mower accessory for their tractor to manage under-vine weeds and cultivate cover crops. These are essential for adding nutrients into the soil, retaining moisture and reducing erosion. They also provide food and habitats for beneficial insects and pollinators and temper the summer heat for the vines.

The Cabardès appellation, which lies beyond the walls of Carcassonne in the Languedoc, is always a blend of both Atlantic and Mediterranean varieties, hence grenache, syrah, cinsault and merlot, which all contribute to its red-berry fruit and refreshing citrus flavours.

The Negrel family farm is within sight of the Mont Sainte-Victoire of Cézanne fame. From it comes this pale and delicate rosé, fragrant with a touch of finesse, clean lines and length of redcurrant and citrus flavour. A blend of majority cinsault plus grenache, syrah and rolle, this is versatile and perfect with or without food.

Made from roughly equal thirds of syrah, grenache and cinsault with a spoonful of mourvèdre, this is a bright pink rosé, full-flavoured, dry and fruity. Made with food in mind, serve it with grilled meats, fish or a medley of Mediterranean vegetables.

This is a super vintage for Corsica. The wines have fragrance, elegance and delicacy. The sciaccarellu grape dominates the blend with 10% cinsault. This is a dry, fruity, refreshing pink that can be enjoyed on its own or with food.

A delightful Provençal blend of cinsault, grenache and a little of the local tibouren grape. Bone-dry, crisp, clean, almost flinty with hints of cherry and redcurrant, this is delicious and refreshing.

Stylish, well presented and utterly delicious, this is made from mostly grenache and cinsault and tibouren in support. This tastes dry and fruity, yet soft and gentle and with a hint of redcurrant and citrus. Tibouren (10% here) is a principally Provençal grape variety mainly used for pinks for the structure it brings.

Delicate and refined pinot noir rosé from Alsace that is deliciously easy to drink. The Cattins own 60 hectares of vines and Jacques Cattin Jr runs the business together with his wife Anaïs, with Jacques Sr never far away. The village of Voegtlinshoffen, 10km south of Colmar, is home.

Delightful, pale-coloured pink rosé from an up-and-coming estate in the Ventoux dominated by the famous mountain of the same name. Bright, clean and refreshing. Just the thing after cycling up a hill!

Tom Bove is an American entrepreneur with a love of all things Italian and opera, hence the name. He sold Miraval to Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt and then bought this run-down estate on the Via Aurelia, near Brignoles in Provence. He completely rebuilt it, going as far as digging up the vines and breaking up the bedrock. The results are extraordinary as shown by this dry, full-bodied rosé with an aptitude for matching with Mediterranean dishes.

From an extraordinary estate near Les Baux de Provence, with cellars built into a cliff and just below the ruins of a Templar castle. This is a lovely light, pale and delicately flavoured but fruity Provence pink made mostly from mourvèdre, grenache and syrah.
