Classico Rosé Arrives in Australia

A blush-pink welcome to Australia

There is a particular kind of joy that comes from pouring something beautiful into a glass and watching it catch the light. Today that pleasure gets a little more accessible for drinkers across Australia, because Classico Rosé has officially joined our local sparkling range. Crafted in the style of a dry sparkling rosé, it is fresh, vibrant and elegant, and it has been designed for exactly the moments you already love: long lunches, sun-warmed afternoons on the balcony, and the clink of glasses among good company.

If you have followed Lyre's for a while, you will know we do not launch anything quietly. Classico Rosé earned its place through the response it received elsewhere first, and we are thrilled it is finally here.

Already a favourite across the US, UK and EU

Classico Rosé is not a newcomer to the world stage. Since arriving in the United States, the United Kingdom and across the European Union, it has become a firm favourite among hosts and cocktail enthusiasts who want the ceremony and character of a sparkling rosé without the alcohol taking centre stage. Bottle shops have restocked it, tables have featured it, and drinkers have returned to it for the simple reason that it delivers on flavour.

Bringing it to Australia felt less like a decision and more like a natural next step. The Australian appetite for sophisticated drinking has grown remarkably, and a well-made sparkling rosé sits right at the heart of that shift. For anyone searching for the best non-alcoholic wine in Australia to grace a celebration, this is our answer.

The flavour profile: what to expect in the glass

Pour Classico Rosé and the first thing you notice is the colour, a delicate blush that promises something summery before you have even taken a sip. On the nose there are soft florals and a lift of fresh red berry fruit. The palate follows through with strawberry and red-fruit character, balanced by a dryness that keeps everything refined rather than sweet.

The finish is crisp and clean, with a persistent, fine bead that mimics the elegance of a traditional sparkling rosé. It is that dryness and structure that make Classico Rosé so versatile. It refreshes rather than cloys, which is precisely what you want when the glass is going to be topped up more than once across an afternoon.

How to serve and enjoy it

Classico Rosé is happiest served well chilled, ideally straight from the fridge into a flute or a wide coupe. The colder it is, the crisper the finish reads.

Straight from the bottle

For most occasions, nothing is required beyond a chilled glass. Poured on its own, it works beautifully as a welcome drink, a toast, or the through-line of a leisurely lunch. Its dry profile means it pairs naturally with food, from a grazing board of soft cheeses and cured accompaniments to fresh seafood, summer salads and lighter grilled dishes.

As the base of a spritz

If you like to build something a little more elaborate, Classico Rosé makes a wonderful base for a sparkling spritz. Add a splash of soda, a twist of citrus, and a few fresh berries or a sprig of mint. It is a gorgeous serve for a crowd because it scales easily and looks the part in a jug or a pitcher.

For hosting and gifting

A chilled bottle of sparkling rosé is one of the most gracious things you can bring to a gathering or set out for guests. It signals occasion, it includes everyone at the table regardless of what they are drinking, and it looks every bit as considered as it tastes. That inclusivity is exactly the point. Great drinks should bring people together, not sort them into camps.

Crafted by the world's most awarded non-alcoholic brand

Classico Rosé carries the same craft credentials as everything we make. Lyre's is the most awarded non-alcoholic brand in the world, a distinction earned across international spirits and drinks competitions since we began in 2019. That pedigree is not a badge we wear lightly. It reflects a relentless focus on getting the aroma, the balance and the finish right, so that what lands in your glass genuinely stands on its own merits.

What that means for you is straightforward. When you reach for Classico Rosé, you are reaching for something built to the same exacting standard that has defined the category. It is sophisticated drinking, made for people who care about what is in their glass.

Raise a glass, Australia

The arrival of Classico Rosé rounds out our sparkling offering locally and gives Australian hosts a genuinely elegant option for every celebration, from an impromptu Friday to a milestone worth marking. Chill a bottle, gather your people, and pour something that looks as good as it tastes.
