There’s just something about the first proper rosé of the year that feels like summer has officially started.

Over the last few months I’ve probably tested far too many bottles “for research purposes”, so I thought I’d pull together a list of the rosé wines that genuinely stood out this year from supermarket finds under £10 to Provence rosés worth bringing out for a BBQ, girls’ night or summer dinner party.

These are the bottles I’d happily buy again, plus a few newer releases that are getting lots of attention this summer.

M&S Rosé Wines

Trouble Cloudy Rosé — £12

A slightly cloudy, modern-style rosé with soft strawberry and peach flavours. Feels very “holiday lunch in the South of France”.

Lisboa Bonita Rosé — £8

Easy-drinking and fruity with watermelon and raspberry notes. A really good budget bottle for summer evenings.

La Dame En Rose — £7

Light, fresh and uncomplicated. Great value and ideal for big summer gatherings.

Costières de Nîmes Rosé — £9

More classic southern French rosé with citrus, red berry and a crisp finish.

Collection Sainte-Victoire Rosé — £11

One of the more Provence-style rosés at M&S. Pale, elegant and really refreshing.

Final Thoughts

Rosé season is my favourite season and whether you love a dry Provence rosé, a fruity supermarket bottle or just want something easy to drink in the garden, there are so many good options around this summer.

A few of these have already become repeat buys for me… and I’m definitely still “researching” more.
