A half bottle of Suduiraut will set you back at least twice this price, if not three or four, so this Aldi gem is a great buy – especially as a little goes a long way. Complex and ageworthy, it has lusciously creamy dried apricot and rich marmalade flavours, zesty acidity and a lengthy honeyed finish. Snap it up, and the 2018 coming on line soon.
