Light, bright as well as refreshing, yet still full of flavour as well as texture, rosé is the perfect drink for hot weather—but not all rosé. right here are 5 rosé wines perfect for summer.
It’s interesting exactly how rosé wine has made a comeback in recent years. In fact, it’s never been so popular.
Between 2002 as well as 2019, there was a increase of almost 25% in worldwide usage of rosé.
But rosé owes much of its modification in ton of money to the South of France.
That dry, crisp, pale pink Provençal style has not only been embraced by wine drinkers internationally, however by the wine-makers themselves.
Vintners around the world are styling their rosé to be more according to the lean yet flavoursome wines coming from this now widely known style. as well as it’s a far cry from the excessively wonderful bright pink as well as near-red monsters of the past.
And it’s the flavour of summer, which makes sense.
The brilliant crisp zing as well as nuanced flavour of a chilled Provençal rosé is the very best thing you’ll drink as the sun radiates warm off the rolling hills around Lorgues or the glittering harbour waters of Saint-Tropez.
The concern is: which summertime rosé to buy?

We’ve tried a few of Mitchelton Estate’s other wines in the past—the Preece Collection—which is a lovely group of wines (the Grenache is sensational) however this rosé is definitely a cut above. more refined, excellent structure as well as surprising length all produce a excellent wine that will, in true Provençal style, match with almost any type of food.

Gartelmann Wines’ Veronica Rosé
Ordinarily you wouldn’t believe Shiraz grapes would make a Proven?al style rosé, however instead something fatter, sweeter as well as juicier. however perhaps since the hunter Valley’s Shiraz tend to be lighter as well as less sweet, this 100% Shiraz rosé balances better.
There is still a sweetness right here as well as a creamy body, however a firm, acidic backbone to the wine holds whatever in location as well as enables the dryness of the style to pull through.
Available from Gartelmann’s cellar door in Lovedale, hunter Valley or fine wine shops. $23.00 RRP
