Rosé has enjoyed great success in recent years. Once a wine for a summer afternoon, it is now thoughtful, complex and perfect for food pairing.
Rosé can be made from a multitude of varieties – from grenache, pinot noir and cabernet sauvignon to shiraz, sangiovese, nebbiolo and even montepulciano – which means outstanding rosé wines can be produced right around the country.
These seven examples hail from Tasmania, Margaret River, Riverina and Victoria's Yarra Valley, Nagambie Lakes, the Mornington Peninsula and Beechworth.
We asked their makers how they approach the winemaking process, the key varieties used, and what makes their rosé unique.
Finally, we look at the producers carving out time during vintage to make pét-nat rosé.
Enjoy your weekend,
