(2024) Re-energised after the country gained independence in the early 90s, Georgia's Tblivino is one of the better known names on export markets, though this rosé is a new wine for me. Deeper in colour than most wines in this report, redcurrant and raspberry on the nose, before the palate showing some of Saperavi's tannin and gravelly bite, to give this gastronomic appeal.

(2024) South Africa's Warwick Estate has chosen to make this wine from 100% Pinotage, and it works well. The colour is pale pink with a hint of gold, and aromas floral, bright, suggesting raspberry and citrus. With only 11.5% alcohol it has plenty of zippy acidity to cleanse the palate, while the pulpy, soft summer fruits fill-out the mid-palate.

(2024) The Rosé is a new addition to the Mouton-Cadet line-up, from a vineyard of organically farmed Merlot in Bordeaux. It's a crunchy and aromatic wine, very dry and gastronomic, with a burst of Seville orange to the fruit. The palate has some intense small red berry savouriness and very good acidity. This 2021 drinking very nicely.

(2024) One of the palest and most refreshing, almost white wine-like wines of this year's crop, this Languedoc wine is Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah, with the 'secret' of Mourvèdre, a variety less commonly found in rosés of the south. Very delicate summer blossom and lime aromas, with a pretty and rose-like perfume. On the palate only the faint suggestion of red fruits in a wine that has plenty of citrus acidity but no lack of texture or softening mid-palate fruit. Rather lovely.

(2024) This organic Pays d'Oc blends Grenache and Cinsault in a distinctly pale, Provençal style. Loads of rose-hip, raspberry and bubblegum aromas. Very nice palate, the crunch of raspberry and zip of lemon and lime, but that floral, bubblegum character is there. Acid is really nicely balanced.

(2024) Nice and unusual to have a delicate, 11% rosé from the volcanic island of Madeira, made from the local Tinta Negra Mole grape. The colour is a light to medium salmon pink, and it's a very fragrant wine with flowers and pert red berries, a sense of minerality too. On the palate juicy and quite creamy, a pulpy strawberry fruit quality comes through, but it keeps that spritely mineral crispness.

(2024) An IGP Côtes de Thongue wine that blends Grenache and Rolle (Vermentino), from volcanic soils. Peachy-pink in colour and a sherbetty lemon zest nose, cool, clear and subtle. Very fresh, crisp and racy on the palate. Would you guess it was a white wine if blindfolded? Maybe, a hint of strawberry and raspberry, but free-flowing citrus and just a hint of peppery spice carries this nicely.

(2024) A rosé from Rioja Alavesa, 100% Tempranillo, wirh a relatively deep colour. There's a jammy cherry ripeness to this, plenty of fruit sweetness moving into strawberry. Quite weighty in texture, but balance is good with sufficient acidity to offset the sweet fruit that could otherwise verge on the slightly cloying. No UK retail stockists at time of review.

(2024) Rogers & Rufus is a partnership between English entrepreneur Rufus Clevely and Australian Rogers Hill-Smith - you may recognise the Hill-Smith name as owners of Yalumba and its associated brands. The wine was designed as a summery, lunch-time sipper with only 11.5% alcohol, and is made from unirrigated bush-vine Grenache in the Barossa Valley. It's an homage to Provence, though the nose has a little more passion fruit and even nuances of lychee than might be found in the south of France, the palate bright and peachy but shimmering with an elegant, stony acidity that leaves it bone-dry in the finish. A successful rendition of this style. Watch the video for more information and food-matching ideas. A few stockists have it a bit cheaper by the six-bottle case.

(2023) From Württemberg in the south of the country, a blend of the local speciality grape of Italian/German heritage called Trollinger, and Lemberger, a synonym of Blaufränkisch. It is made in a very fashionably pale style, and aromatically it is gentle and perfumed, a little floral, red apple and redcurrant fruit. In the mouth a touch of sugar gives this softness and easy approachability, but I like the fact that the freshness and sense of precision and delicacy is maintained into a crisp, lemon zest finish.
