This is a French rosé without the hefty price tag. And it’s made in Provence! The Bijou Terre de Providence Rosé is a delicately still wine featuring bright aromas of berries, floral honeysuckle and citrus. The palate is light and crisp, rolling over the tongue with frivolity, and ending on a smooth finish. Just like all the rosé wines featured on this list, this drop is a perfect aperitif.

Born Rosé
When one thinks of great rosé, our minds don’t usually travel to Spain. But please reconsider! Spain is a temperate wine region, with the ability to produce amazing wine of any colour. And the best is the Born Rosé, made with native tempranillo and grenache grapes in the coastal city of Barcelona. Expect aromas of cherry, strawberry and redcurrant that flow through to the palate sharing a juicy, mouth-watering finish. Best served chilled and on its own.
