The Halliday Wine Companion Awards celebrate the best wines in Australia. Below you'll find Australia's top rosé wines, along with the wine ratings awarded by the Tasting Team.
Grape variety and region are always important but, given the array of both on display here, the deciding factor with rosé is purpose-built growing, picking and making. Sutton Grange’s rosé is a perfect example; it has won this category two years running for a reason. Rosé is such an important category, commercially, now that the praises of the top examples probably aren’t sung as heartily as they should be.
2025 Best Rosé of the Year in Australia
Sutton Grange Winery Fairbank Rosé 2023, Central Victoria
96 points | Price when tasted $35
Takes an award-winning style centred around shiraz, cabernet sauvignon and sangiovese and adds splashes of viognier and fiano. The white grapes bring an extra layer of delicate aromatics and body weight to one impressive rosé. Pretty tea-rose hues. Orange blossom, musk, raspberry, cherry, earth and savoury influences wind and roll their way across this stylish wine. Texture and clean acid drive in sync. What a ripper! – Jeni Port
