Summer is here, which means it’s the ideal time for a glass (or three) of rosé. And while you could grab any pretty pink bottle, we think it might be better to do some research to find the best ones out there. Luckily, we’ve done the research for you. Click through to see some of the best (and newest) rosé options to sip on. Cheers!

“La Fête is a party and everyone’s invited,” says CEO Donae Burston. Made in conjunction with Domaine Bertaud Belieu Winery in the heart of St. Tropez, this rosé is a blend of Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Syrah, with hints of dried fruits and a cherry aroma. Basically, it’s delicious and perfect for warm weather get-togethers with friends.

This rosé wine was created by Jon Bon Jovi and his son Jesse, but don’t let the name or the founders fool you into thinking it’s all marketing — the rosé is award-winning, and was Wine Spectator’s top-rated rosé of last year. It has great minerality and is fresh and lively, blended with Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grape varieties. It’s summer in a glass.

This fruit-forward rosé with hints of watermelon, orange peel, stone fruit, and strawberry is delicately pink with a vibrant acidity. Essentially, it is everything you could want in a summertime rosé.

This one isn’t your typical rosé that’s for sure — aside from a darker hue, this wine packs a punch with ripe raspberry, strawberry, and pomegranate notes, and is perfect for your summer barbecue, as it holds its own and pairs great with a ton of food — yes, even meat. While this one is available on-property only (time to book that trip!), they also have a sparkling (Napa Valley Sparkling Rosé) and still rosé (Vitner's Collection) option available nationally.

This yummy variation comes from the winery that produces the number-one selling Pinot Noir produced in Oregon, so they’ve taken the grapes and done something a little different with them — and that’s how we got this rosé. With notes of melon, tropical fruits, and peach, it’s a light and refreshing wine that’s likely to turn into your summer staple.

This gem of a rosé not only tastes great, featuring notes of strawberry, rose petals, and herbs, but it looks great, too — the bottle is seriously stunning. It’s made by the family-owned Les Grands Chais de France, in a traditional Provencal style (aka pale in color and fresh with great minerality).

This completely Instagrammable bottle is also, perhaps surprisingly, delicious with notes of strawberry and bing cherry. Plus, it’s a favorite of Kim Kardashian West. Not into the Kardashians? Well, forget I said that.

Chateau d’Esclans is beloved for its Whispering Angel, but Rock Angel is just as fabulous — and one of my favorites. You can drink this alone or pair with food, and it’ll stand its ground. The bright rosé is both refreshing but also vibrant and textured.

This French winery started National Rosé Day here in the U.S., so it’s a bit fitting. The boutique rosé wine house produces several rosé “flavors,” each represented by a unique bottle design that are meant to be collected and displayed. It was the unofficial pour at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. We suggest No. 7, an easy-to-drink Provencal style.

It just makes sense that the world’s first rosé champagne be on the list, right? This rosé has been a mainstay since 1764 and boasts notes of red and tropical fruit, making it lively and vibrant. (It’s also a favorite among many — including the Olsen twins and Gwyneth Paltrow.)

Champagne Bollinger Rosé is made in limited quantities — but it’s worth the find. It has notes of red apple, cherry, and wild strawberries. Definitely worthy of a special occasion — or the special occasion can simply be opening the bottle. Your call.
