So many rosés, so little time. As always, we’ve done the dirty delicious work of tasting through hundreds of the season’s offerings to bring you the best of the bunch. Here’s our wine buyer Kate Miceli on why she chose the following 9, out of the 50+ we have in store, as the favorites this year.
Mittelbach, Austria
The Mittelbach rosé is perfect for those who prefer a pronounced and bold style of wine. Made from the Austrian red grape Zweigelt and loaded with flavors of dark cherries and muddled raspberries that finishes dry! So so great with BBQ. $17.99
Ameztoi Txakolina, Basque, Spain
A rosé from Basque Country in Spain! This might be the most refreshing one of the season because it is bone-dry and super spritzy. Pour it from higher than usual into your glass to incorporate extra bubbles and enjoy. $21.99
Little Sheep, France
New to Bottles this year, this adorable bottle has been an instant hit. The wine tastes like ripe strawberries and pillow-y cotton candy – it’s so super fruity and ends with just a touch of delightful sweetness! $12.99
Commanderie de Peyrassol, Provence, France
Peyrassol has set the benchmark of style and quality for Provencal rosé. It’s classic, unpretentious, and is a good mix of flavors like ripe berries, sea breeze, and lemon! This is the OG pink wine. $21.99
Yes Way Rosé, France
Yes Way Rosé has pool party written all over it! It tastes like watermelon rinds, lemons, and sunshine (says Dan)! Dry and so refreshing. If you love Whispering Angel, try this one too. $14.99
Tempier, Bandol, France
Let this wine transport you to the picturesque town of Bandol, set in the south of France in the Mediterranean Sea. This is the treat of the summer that does not disappoint and will always impress! Ask about our 1.5L mags, too. $47.99
Steininger, Austria
One of the many rosés that people ask for more and more every year. I visited the winery in Austria earlier this year, and the family reveled in that this past warmer season was the best vintage they can remember in over 17 years. Try this at least once, it’s delicious and looks oh so refreshing in the bottle when frosty cold. $19.99
#Lou Peyrassol, Provence, France
A big-time Bottles favorite because it works for every occasion, from a fire-escape picnic to a yacht-club gala. Try this delicious entry-level wine from the very famous and beloved Peyrassol house. $14.99
Le Poussin, France
Another awesome value rosé from France that does not disappoint! Great as a summer sipper… but also, are you trying to make Froze this year? Use this as a base wine for those refreshing popsicles or slushes — it already tastes like ripe summer raspberries and strawberries. $11.99
Cheers to summer!
