Long a European favourite, rosé continues to become more and more popular in this country as it is rightly recognised to be a perfect summer drink.

These carefully chosen still and sparkling examples are delicious by themselves yet also make great matches with many classic summer dishes - go on, spoil yourself!

L'attitude Cabernet Sauvignon Rosé 2007, France: Very fresh and crisp rosé with loads of clean raspberry fruit and a hint of rose petal on the nose.

Domaine du Mage Rosé 2006, France: Fuller style with raspberry and strawberry fruit plus nuances of fresh cherry and hedgerow fruit.

Varichon & Clerc Sparkling Rosé NV, France: Lively, crisp summer sparkler that refreshes the palate with clean raspberry and cherry fruit.

Cava Castillo Perelada Reserva Sparkling Rosé NV, Spain: A deeper style rosé which, as well as being a perfect aperitif, is a perfect match for summer dishes such as smoked salmon, salads and charcuterie.
