Aldi's a great source of interesting,affordable Greek wines, particularly the whites, and this rosé is a lovely discovery. Smoky minerals, seaspray and sharp citrus from the Assyrtiko blends well with spicy red fruits from 25% Syrah. Crisp, savoury and characterful – and best accompanied by a deckchair in the sun.
