Rose Wine Home Brew Kits

A rosé wine kit lets you make a light, fruity pink wine at home, from dry Grenache rosé to sweeter White Zinfandel and blush styles. Rosé kits are usually quick to ferment and are best enjoyed young and well chilled. Choose a 6-bottle kit to try a style, or a 28–30 bottle kit from Beaverdale, SG Wines, Cantina or Winexpert for summer drinking.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best rosé wine kit?

For a dry, fresh rosé, the Winexpert Reserve Australian Grenache Rosé is the premium choice. For a sweeter, fruitier style, SG Wines Gold Zinfandel Rosé and Beaverdale Blush are popular.

How long does a rosé wine kit take?

Most rosé kits ferment and clear in a few weeks. Rosé is best drunk young, so it doesn't need long ageing. See our guide to how long a wine kit takes.

What's the difference between rosé and blush?

Blush usually describes a paler, sweeter style, often from Zinfandel. Rosé covers everything from bone-dry to medium-sweet.

How many bottles does a rosé kit make?

Either 6 bottles (about 4.5 litres) or 28–30 bottles (about 23 litres), as shown in each kit's name. See our guide to how many bottles a kit makes.
