Good white Bordeaux doesn't come cheap, so for those that can push the boat out, this wine, from Vignobles Rodrigues-Lalande, is a welcome addition to Aldi's range. The spiced oak is well integrated, adding structure to the creamy, mid-weight palate, fleshed out by waxy citrus fruit and a refreshing herbal lift. In store only.
