Rosé from the Mediterranean coast of France has set the world benchmark for style and you’d expect nothing less from the French, who are absolute pioneers of wine. This is a classic example of the style. Salmon pink, luminous and fresh as a sea breeze; just one whiff of this is enough to make you want to break out the sandals and wide-brim hat. It’s all about softly sweet red berries balanced by a gentle savoury crispness. From poolside to long lunch to New Year’s cheers, this wine has summer written all over it.

There is a lot to like about this rosé - it’s from a quality-focused producer Castelmaure who have impressed many a mofo with their red blend. This rosé is equally as tasty and impressive. It’s made with the same grapes - syrah, grenache and cinsault - which they have picked at the exact right time to retain freshness, and pressed for just long enough to get the perfect colour, aroma and flavour. The nose is full of guava and floral notes, followed by more guava on the palate, fresh acid and a texture that suggests it will sing with food. Deee-lish!

Oliver & Lafont sound like a French Davis Cup team serving it up on centre court at Roland Garros. Swap the serve-volleys and overhead smashes with meticulous fruit selection and attention to detail in the winery, and you have a winning doubles team. This is the perfect refreshing beverage after a marathon three-setter. There’s wonderful line and length with citrus acidity supporting pretty pink flavours of strawberries, Christmas cherries and Pink Lady apples. It’s fresh, crunchy and tart, with a nice textural line of minerality and spice so typical of Rhône’s grenache based rosés. “Game, set and match: Olivier & Lafont.”

It’s rosé or the highway around these parts. And it doesn’t get much better than the juice coming out of Pays D’Oc. If you like your rosé pale and with a serious nose of strawberry and blackcurrant, then steady your drinking hand because this vin ought to get you up and about. Crafted by the Collovray clan, who have a tidy 90-year winemaking history under their belts, it should come as no surprise that they’ve pretty much perfected their rosé recipe. Full of fruit, incredibly well-rounded and super tasty, it should come as no surprise that this rosé is better than my French. Far better.

We’d fly solo to get to this rosé! In fact we would also swim, jump, run and scoot there too. Joining us all the way from Pays d’Oc in France, this crisp drop is the perfect addition to go in the esky at your next picnic. Jam packed with all the lively summer fruits and aromas of strawberries and cream, this baby will go excellently as an aperitif, or with appetisers and snacks. Make sure you chill before you open ‘cause it won’t stay in the fridge long once you’ve had your first glass!

How do you preserve the magical quality of grapes in a hot climate? Pick by night. It is there, in the blackness before dawn, with the cool air offering respite from the scorching heat of day, and accompanied only by the chirruping of cicadas and the melodic cursing of a Frenchman who’s lost his secateurs, that such delicious wine is born. Next time you’re enjoying an ice-cold glass of this over lunch while on your yacht in the med, take a quiet moment to picture where it came from.
