6 ALDI Red Wines Perfect for Winter Sipping

ALDI has released its latest collection of seasonal wines, with cracking value across its red wine range just in time for the chilly months.

This curated selection serves up locally sourced award-winning sips and world-quality drops at unbeatable prices, with the most affordable glass of red in the range pouring for 90 cents (McGuigan Black Label Red 1 Litre, $8.99).

ALDI’s Wine Expert and Director of Buying, Jason Bowyer says he is confident Aussies will be blown away by their quality.

 

"As the temperature drops, there’s nothing like a glass of red to warm things up - whether you’re unwinding at home or sharing a hearty meal with friends and loved ones.

"With everything from a bold Shiraz to vibrant European varietals, our Winter red wine range brings rich flavour and top-notch quality to your table without stretching your budget.

"This year we’re seeing a balance of both worlds - with some wine drinkers looking for more lighter and fresher styles, while others stick with those classic, full-bodied favourites. Fortunately, when you look at ALDI’s selection of drops this season, there is truly something for every person and price point!” he continues.

Here are six red wines to taste test for yourself:

This Winter red captures spice and light orange characters and is perfect at room temperature, or even warmed up a little as a mulled wine for those colder Winter nights.

 

With a spicy nose featuring black pepper coupled with red fruit, this is an excellent wine for anyone who appreciates contemporary cool climate Shiraz – and all for under $15.

Leaning on the fresh medium-bodied styles that Aussies look for during Winter time, this organic wine is a deep ruby red, with intense fruit aromas of blackberry and cherry – perfect for those cosy nights in.

This Grenache by design is fresh, lifted and carries some Pinot-like charm. With ripe blueberry and dark cherry characters and a mouth-coating fruit freshness, it delivers a modern approach to Grenache.

As more Aussies embrace a mindful approach to drinking, lower-alcohol wines are gaining popularity – and with good reason. This local Pinot Noir offers all the varietal charm and vibrant flavour you would expect, but in a lighter style that’s gentle on both the palate and the price.

 

Sourced from Coonawarra, one of Australia’s most renowned cool climate regions, this Cabernet Shiraz Malbec Merlot delivers elegance and depth in every glass for under $13.
