This week we have two Australian wines from Aldi. Margaret River is close to Perth in Western Australia, now home to many of our nurses and doctors. The region has some of Australia’s finest estates which produce high quality red and white wine.
Many of the Sauvignons contain 5 per cent to 15 per cent Sémillon, giving the wines a pleasant herbal note and more texture. The wine below includes 8 per cent Sémillon.
Moving over to the eastern side of Australia, cooler regions in South Australia, Tasmania and Victoria produce some very fine soft Pinot Noir. This is a new limited edition from Aldi.
Specially Selected Margaret River Sauvignon Blanc 2021, Western Australia
Lightly perfumed with fresh zesty green fruits and a crisp dry finish. Perfect on its own, with a goat’s cheese salad or grilled white fish with herbs. 12%, €9.99
Specially Selected Australian Pinot Noir 2022, South Australia
Light, sweet and ripe red cherry fruits with an earthy note. This would be great with tuna, salmon or grilled duck breast. 14%, €9.99
