Looking for a summery sip that’s big on fruity flavours? We’ve scouted out the best rosé wines to buy in Australia right now – and you just might find a new favourite in this lot.

But first …

What is rosé wine?

Created from red grapes, rosé is a versatile wine with a signature pink hue. It’s bright, fresh and fruity – a great balance of sweetness and acidity, which is why it’s so widely enjoyed.

And why is it pink?

The colour of wine comes from the pigment in grape skin. In the case of rosé wine, the red grape skins are removed from the wine before a deeper red colour has time to develop. This process gives winemakers a lot of control over how pink they want their rosé to become.
