At a recent press tasting, Aldi presented no less than eleven rosé wines as part of their spring and summer collection. Obviously, our love of rosé continues to grow. This week I feature two that impressed me most. In addition to these I included the Hungarian Chardonnay Rosé (€7.49) a few weeks ago. You could also try out the light refreshing Mimo Moutinho Vinho Verde Rosé (€7.99), the crisp, dry Specially Selected Ventoux Rosé (€8.99) and the fruit-filled Specially Selected Coteaux de Beziers Rosé (€9.99).

Pierre Jaurent Sud de France Rosé NV

Nicely fruity with juicy ripe strawberry and raspberry fruits and a rounded finish. Perfect spring/summer drinking by itself or with grilled or barbecued chicken dishes. €8.49 from Aldi

Specially Selected Organic Etna Rosé 2021, Sicily

This is a delicious organic rosé from the slopes of Mount Etna. It is full of vibrant red cherry and raspberry fruits with crisp acidity and a dry finish. Drink it solo, with grilled salmon and tuna, or with lightly spicy chicken curries. €9.99 from Aldi
