Rhône is clearly a favourite hunting ground of the Aldi buying team – seek out the Specially Selected Ventoux rosé and Costières de Nîmes red as well as the Prince de France Gigondas and Grand Vallon white Châteauneuf-du-Pape in the new premium range. This full-bodied red is another top buy, the burly tannins and warm alcohol supporting a rich palate of bramble jam, currants and pepper.
