If you've marked Rosés down as the overly sweet sickly wines of the Mateus Era then think again. Times have changed. Modern Rosés are refreshing, fruitier and more substantial than a white but crisper and lighter than a red. They're perfect to enjoy all year round, not only in the summer. This rosé has all the zest and verve of a Pinot Grigio, with some of the flavour and colour from the pink skins squeezed into it. Refreshing, thirst quenching and more-ish, it's a can't go wrong, pleases-everyone wine.

One of the coolest things to come out of California, this Zinfandel is a decadent mixture of sweet, red berry fruit and tongue tingling refreshment. They may want to call it 'Blush' over there but there'll certainly not be any red faces when you serve this up to your friends. A delicious aperitif, it is one to keep chilled and close at hand. And to paraphrase Californian Governor Arnie, once you've tasted this "You'll be back".

In my opinion there are only two really great Sancerre Rosés - and this is one of them. In fact, when I got the opportunity, I just had to buy this. Delicate and powerful at the same time, this is what real Rosé is all about. Deliciously creamy red fruits backed by a refreshing mineral undertone, this is definitely one to enjoy in the sunshine - preferably with someone really special.

When I'm on the search for great value wines, I always look to the lesser known and, therefore, cheaper regions. Campo de Borgia fits the bill perfectly. Just a little southeast of its better known neighbour, Rioja, I found a cooperative making lush, easy-drinking wines. Juicy and vibrant with just the right amount of refreshing zing, this delicious Rosé is just the thing for a spot of alfresco dining.

As well as cracking out some top-drawer reds, this producer takes advantage of Tempranillo's great ability to produce deliciously lip-smacking Rosé. It is a perfect, red-fruited dry Rosé that would be best served up with lunch, but would come into its own for bringing in the first BBQs of the year.

If you like your pinks with enough personality to make them stand out from the norm, as well as being delicious, try this cherry-filled wine from the slightly mad makers, Familia Zuccardi. It's a light, appealing wine with dry raspberry flavours and lovely fruitiness. Give it a go with cold meats or seafood salad or if you are feeling plush, dressed lobster and Cesar salad.

If you like them pink then the chances are that you're already familiar with the lusciousness that is blush Zinfandel. Creamy with more than a hint of strawberries, this wine (unlike most of our rosés) is just a little off-dry. Perfect as an aperitif, Whispering Hills is just the ticket for getting any evening going.

From the spiritual home of Rosé, Anjou, comes this classic off-dry style that is made in a very clean, refreshing, modern way. Bags of fruit and zest make it really great for making the most of the outdoors. A deliciously sexy Al Fresco wine.

With 5 generations behind them, the Raimbault family use a minimal interventionist approach to create wines of great purity and finesse. This is presented perfectly in this fantastic Sancerre Rosé. With its intense fruitiness and complex character, this Rosé is a true delight to drink. You will definitely enjoy this refreshing yet vibrant wine.
