Six shades of rosé: Europe vs Down Under

Описание: Rosé has never been more diverse, or more debated. In this episode, Huon Hooke and Aaron Brasher sit down to taste and discuss six rosé wines from France, Australia, and New Zealand, exploring how style, climate, and intent shape what’s in the glass.

From Provence, the benchmark for pale, dry rosé, they taste Domaine Tempier Rosé 2024 and Maison Saint Aix Rosé 2024. Two classic expressions that highlight finesse, restraint and regional identity.

Australia is represented by Dominique Portet Single Vineyard Rosé 2025 and SC Pannell Arido Rosé 2024, offering two thoughtful, varietally expressive interpretations. Both wines balance freshness and texture, showing how different grape choices and approaches can shape modern Australian rosé.

Rounding out the lineup, Two Rivers Wines Isle of Beauty Rosé 2025 and Terra Sancta Pinot Noir Rosé 2025 bring New Zealand’s cool-climate lens into focus. Bright acidity, clarity of fruit and precision define these two contrasting styles, each delivering a confident and refined expression.

So how do these rosés compare across hemispheres? Does Provence still define the category, or are Australia and New Zealand carving out equally compelling identities of their own?

Watch the full episode to explore six distinct shades of rosé, and decide which style speaks to you.
