Rosé

Rosé wine has long outgrown its reputation as just a summer sip. Today, it's one of the most expressive and diverse styles in the wine world. It spans dry and mineral-driven to bold and fruit-laced, with serious depth for those who know where to look.

At The Reserve Cellar, we see Rosé not as a trend, but as a category rich with craft, heritage, and possibility. The secret lies in how it’s made and more importantly, what it’s made from.

The grape variety is the starting point. Grenache Rosé is one of the most recognisable styles. In southern France, it takes on its classic form, think Maison Aix and the Provençal profile: pale, dry and delicate, with notes of wild strawberry, white peach, and thyme. Australia adds its own bold spin. In regions like the Barossa, Grenache Rosé often includes Shiraz or Mataro in the blend, creating deeper colour, plush red fruit, spice, and generous texture. These Rosés are layered, complex and made to hold your attention.

Shiraz Rosé stands confidently on its own too, especially when crafted from older vines and cooler-climate fruit. Expect richer flavours, peppery lift and a rounder mouthfeel. It’s a perfect partner to chargrilled fare or autumn afternoons.

For those who lean toward elegance, Pinot Noir Rosé delivers. It’s light-bodied and floral, with crisp acidity and mineral tension. You’ll often find these refined examples coming out of Tasmania, Victoria’s high-altitude sites, and New Zealand’s Central Otago, ideal with salads, seafood, or as an aperitif.

The exploration doesn’t stop there. Italian producers are bringing native varieties into the spotlight, think Sicilian Rosato with pomegranate and orange zest, while Greek and Iberian regions offer savoury, saline-leaning styles shaped by sun and sea.

Our Rosé wine collection brings together a thoughtful mix of time-honoured producers and emerging talent. With every Rosé type chosen to highlight both varietal character and regional distinction, discover only the best Rosé wine with The Reserve Cellar.
