Tache is a French word meaning stained, the rare method used by Taltarni to fashion their sparkling Rose. The moniker Brut Tache can also be read as a metaphor for hard yakka, a reference to the effort required to grow quality grapes and make good wine. Taltarni assemble their finest fruit, picked off vineyards dedicated to yielding grapes exclusively for superior sparkling wines. Cuvée Rosé's pretty pink hue and elegant complexity are achieved by adding a dash of red liqueur to the tirage wine at disgorgement.

$3099each $371DOZEN EACH DOZEN Taltarni became known for producing extraordinary sparkling wines very early on in their history. The estate's highly specialised vineyards in the Pyrenees contribute the backbone of fruit for Brut Tache. An assemblage of the holy trinity varietals, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier, are drawn from mature vineyards, mainly in the premiere viticultural precincts of Victoria and Tasmania. Taltarni focus on encouraging full development of fruit, good varietal definition and refreshing natural acidity. Fermented in its own bottle and matured on yeast lees according to true Methode traditionalle, Cuvée Rosé is a sophisticated wine with mouth filling berry flavours that's simply beautiful to behold.

Engaging salmon pink colour, a fine persistent bead. Lively bouquet, red currants and rose petal, floral, strawberry aromas over complex nougat and yeast characters. Richly layered with elegant red berry fruits, cherries and savoury biscuit flavours, Brut Tache shows exquisite length, finishing flavouful and clean with just the right amount of lingering dryness.

An assemblage of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from three superior estate vineyards in Piccadilly Valley. Terre a Terre take a decidedly artisanal approach to Rosé, setting aside parcels of fruit, which exhibit the interest and complexity for an engagingly blush coloured wine, as influenced by the old world techniques of Sancerre and Bandol. Batches are whole bunch pressed into seasoned oak barriques for vinification and a course of maturation on gross sedimentery lees. Its comely Rosé de Provence hues presage an exquisite palate of fragrant summer berry characters and mouth wateringly, crisp saline minerality.

Not just another pretty pink wine, The Sum is fashioned to a satisfyingly drier style, as beautiful to see at as it is to sip. This is true Saignée, a ferment of noble red grapes which are drained early off the musts to extract the ideal rosé complexion, for a comely pink drink. Brimming with a concentration of juicy pink fruit flavours, titillating with crisp, apple jack acidity, its delicate deep salmon blush and bright magenta hues go down perfectly alongside tasty nibbles and cheery company.

There's no better grape for Rose than the gorgeous, garrulous Grenache. Thistledown have found a blissful block of old Grenache vines. Grapes are all hand picked, destemmed and gently crushed for a course of several hours on skins to extract just the right hues of bawdy pink. A long cool ferment preserves the complex fruit characters and infuses enticing herbal notes into the crisp mineral palate. Beautifully salmon pink in colour, her playful perfumes and undulating textures are supported by juicy orange tang and pursing, rosehip tannins.
