The Halliday Wine Companion Awards celebrate the best wines in Australia – as chosen by the Halliday Tasting Team. Below, you'll find Australia's best rosé wines, along with their scores. Members can also click through to find each wine's detailed review.
But before you dive into the exhaustive list of Australia's best rosé wines, you can get to know the current winner of our Rosé of the Year award – the 2025 Mataro Rosé from Koomilya.
"A grand total of 369 rosé wines were reviewed for this edition of the guide; the top 7 were then reviewed blind at the annual judging to determine the winner. Among the varieties represented were grenache, cinsault, pinot noir, sangiovese and nebbiolo. There was a bounty of expressive and intentional wines, but the gong was destined for Stephen and Fiona Pannell’s Koomilya Mataro Rosé." – Katrina Butler
2027 Best Rosé of the Year in Australia
Koomilya Mataro Rosé 2025, McLaren Vale
96 points | Price when tasted $50
Centenarian mataro vines now dedicated for rosé. Steve Pannell takes rosé seriously. And this strides out confidently. Not flashy mind you, just impeccable fruit quality from exemplary farming and pinpoint picking time. Such a fine thing, awash with orange and rose, pink grapefruit, blood orange, tart strawberries and white cherries. It does all the rosé things, yielding refreshment and succulent fruitful engagement, but it’s much more than that. Balance is à point, the pithy texture in concert with resolved acidity perfectly played, the vinous pleasure exceptional. This is a seriously exciting wine by any metric. – Marcus Ellis
