Looking to sip a healthier rosé? These six bottles aren’t faint of color — suggesting that they are rich in anti-oxidants — and they’re all made with little to no chemicals and additives. Drink up!

La Grange Tiphaine Rosa Rosé Rosam 2015

A young couple in the Loire Valley makes this wine by methode ancestrale, a centuries-old way of creating bubbles in the bottle. Lively, fruity, dry and bright, it’s an all-natural wine perfect to pop open at the picnic table. $19.99 at Chambers Street Wines, 148 Chambers St.; 212-227-1434

Quinta do Perdigão, Rosé Dão 2014

Close your eyes and you’d think you’re sipping a bold red. Farmed biodynamic­ally and made from a blend of four Portugese grapes, this deep fruited rosé carries an intriguing hint of anise. It won’t back away from charbroile­d steak. $16.95 at Winfield-Flynn, 558 Third Ave.; 212-679-4455

Parparouss­is Petite Fleur 2015

If you revive an ancient Greek grape variety called sideritis, plant it where sea and mountain breezes freshen the air, and make wine with only natural yeasts, the result will be this lithe, coppery-toned sipper. Just the partner for grilled shrimp. $ 21.99 at Union Square Wine & Spirits, 140 Fourth Ave.; 212-675-8100

Señorio de Iniesta 2014

This is a deep-toned Spanish rosé made from 100 percent bobal, a grape that can yield clunky reds — but as a rosé it becomes plump and alluring. It tastes like a cross be - tween raspberrie­s and the ripest red cherries; match it to chicken or salmon on the grill. $11 at Gnarly Vines, 350 Myrtle Ave., Brooklyn; 718-797-3183

Salcheto Obvius 2015

This svelte rosé resonates with the taste of spicedmull­ed plums. It’s made in a Tuscan winery that operates biodynamic­ally and doesn’t use sulfites, which can give some drinkers headaches. $19.99 at 58th Street Wine & Liquor, 120 W. 58th St.; 212265-0333

Hentley Farm Rosé 2015

There’s nothing shy about this Aussie blend of grenache and shiraz. It’s the color of a pink flamingo, and in the mouth it brings on a rush of strawberri­es and red watermelon. $27.99 at Ambassador Wines, 1020 Second Ave.; 212-421-5078
