I couldn't find any of the wines you suggested Ken, so I made one last try to get hold of the manager of the specialty section of the local liqueur store and got lucky.

She suggested a South African rose: Krone rose cuvee brut by Twee Jong Gezellen.

I'll be popping it at my fathers later today and will post my impressions.
