why 'tilba' rosé deserves a spot in your fridge this international rosé day

when the weather cools down, most people automatically reach for a big red. but if you ask us, rosé deserves a spot on the table all year round, and international rosé day this june is the perfect excuse to crack a bottle and see why.

fresh, vibrant and ridiculously easy to drink, rosé has become a go-to for every occasion. long lunches, pizza nights, weekends away, girls’ nights, grazing boards by the fire… there’s really not much it doesn’t pair with.

and when it comes to rosé, the 'tilba' rosé from john wallace wines is one that keeps people coming back for another glass.

not your average rosé

the 'tilba' rosé has quickly built a reputation for being more than just a pretty wine in a pink bottle. crafted to be bright, refreshing and seriously drinkable, it’s a wine that’s impressed both wine lovers and industry judges alike.

in the glass, you’ll find a delicate blush colour with lifted aromatics and a crisp, refreshing finish. on the palate, expect notes of pink grapefruit, pear and cranberry, balanced perfectly with refreshing acidity that keeps every sip light and vibrant.

it’s fresh. it’s modern. it’s dangerously easy to enjoy.

the rosé everyone’s talking about

winning a trophy in the wine industry is no small thing, and 'tilba' rosé has now taken the trophy home at the hunter valley wine show for two years running.

yep… two years in a row.

now, heading into the 2026 hunter valley wine show, 'tilba' is chasing the ultimate hat-trick. a huge achievement and a pretty good sign that this rosé deserves a permanent position in your wine rotation.

but awards aside, what we love most about 'tilba' tosé is how approachable it is. It’s the kind of wine you can confidently take anywhere - whether it’s a casual friday night pizza, a long lunch with friends or a weekend away in wine country.

rosé isn’t just for summer

one of the biggest myths about rosé is that it’s only made for hot weather. we strongly disagree.

'tilba' works beautifully through winter thanks to its freshness, texture and versatility. pair it with woodfired pizza, creamy pasta, roast chicken, spicy asian dishes or your favourite cheese board and you’ll quickly understand why rosé deserves year-round status.

it’s lighter than a heavy red but still packed with enough flavour to hold its own during winter entertaining.

plus, there’s something about sitting around a fire with a glass of chilled rosé that just works.

how we’ll be celebrating international rosé day

if you needed a reason to open a bottle this June, this is it. here’s how we recommend celebrating international rosé day:

~ pop a bottle with friends over a long lunch
~ pair 'tilba' rosé with your favourite pizza or pasta
~ build the ultimate grazing board

most importantly? make sure there’s a bottle of 'tilba' rosé chilled and ready to go.
