Babylonstoren, Mourvèdre Rosé, Western Cape, South Africa 2025

<p>The official rosé of the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, Babylonstoren's pale salmon pink wine is a perfect summer sip. Made from grapes grown on Simonsberg Mountain, it's loaded with pure, vibrant fruit – think cherries, strawberry, redcurrants, rhubarb and watermelon – with beautifully crisp natural acidity that keeps the palate bright and fresh. Perfect for alfresco drinking on sunny days.</p>

Carriere Pradal, Domaine de la Massole Rosé, Languedoc-Roussillon, France 2024

90
New and exclusive at Majestic, this organic blend of mainly Syrah with Grenache was described by Majestic's head of buying as 'the best rosé I've ever tasted'. Not sure I'd go quite that far, but this is without doubt worth seeking out, offering aromatic and elegant strawberry and raspberry fruit character, textural and weighty for this style of rosé due to ageing on fine lees, and a crisp, spicy finish. Mix-six price: £12

Domaine d'Arbousset, Tavel, Rhône, France 2024

This dark, Grenache-led rosé from Tavel is a consistently good buy, bone-dry but with pronounced, firm red berry and red cherry flavour, and a hint of orange citrus. It's a food-friendly wine that would be a great pairing for a tuna niçoise salad, or a platter of Middle Eastern mezze.

Part of the same stable as lauded St-Emilion Grand Cru estates Le Dôme and Château Teyssier, this elegant Grenache-dominant rosé is worth paying a little more for. Enticing flavours of spiced summer pudding fruits are enveloped in a round creaminess thanks to time on lees.
