(at Tate Modern, London, 03 Sep 2025)
Drinking Window: 2025 - 2027
With its genteel but immaculately presented fresh ripe apple, white nectarine and ripple of fresh acidity, this new addition to the Aldi range comes over as a kind of South African answer to Mâcon-Villages. Bright, food-flexible, easy – but not facile – drinking.
