Want a switch-up from your usual go-to vino? Wine expert, Sam Caporn, has curated a selection of her favourite hidden gems from Aldi’s latest Spring Summer wine collection.

And these aren’t just your classic supermarket wines – Mistress of Wine, Sam, has handpicked these bottles to introduce shoppers to exciting new flavours and regions that they have likely never heard of before.

Sam says: “You don’t have to spend a fortune to discover incredible wines. For example, if you love a bold Primitivo, you’ll be blown away by the richness and complexity of a Macedonian Kratosija. And for fans of delicate Provence Rosé, I highly recommend trying a Bulgarian Pinot Noir Rosé – a delicious and unexpected alternative.”

Available in stores now with prices starting from just £6.99, these tipples prove that expanding wine horizons don’t have to break the bank, and Sam’s top picks offer an affordable and delicious way to discover shoppers’ next favourite bottle!

Unearthed Macedonian Kratosija (£6.99, 75cl)  

Who’s it for? Primitivo patrons  

Sam says: “A burst of youthful energy in the glass, this wine unfolds with aromas of sun-ripened red cherries, juicy plums and delicate raspberries. The palate is smooth and medium-bodied, offering a delightful dance of

white pepper spice and a hint of decadent chocolate. Primitivo lovers, take note!”

Specially Selected Costières de Nîmes Blanc (£8.99, 75cl) 

The vibe: It’s giving Gavi  

Sam says: “Imagine the crisp, clean flavours of a classic Gavi, but with its own unique twist. Light and refreshingly crisp, this tasty tipple offers a vibrant bouquet of ripe conference pear, juicy galia melon, delicate apricot blossom and zesty lemon. The palate is beautifully balanced, with a lively acidity softened by a smooth, inviting texture.”

Unearthed Austrian Gemischter Satz (£8.99, 75cl)   

Who’s it for? Albariño aficionados

 Sam says: “Ripe and flavourful, this wine bursts with notes of stone fruit, nectarine, tangerine, mango, honeysuckle and apricot. Medium-bodied, with a refreshing fennel hint on the finish – it’s like a more exotic take on Albariño, perfect for a warm spring day.”

Specially Selected Austrian Zweigelt Rosé (£8.99, 75cl) 

The vibe: Navarra nights

Sam says: “A gorgeous, vibrant pink hue leads to enticing aromas of red cherry, raspberry and pomegranate. The palate is dry and fresh with a tasty twist of tangerine on the finish. If you’re a fan of the bright, fruity flavours of a Spanish Rosé from Navarra, you’ll adore this.”

Unearthed Thracian Valley Pinot Noir Rosé (£8.99, 75cl) 

Who’s it for? Provence partakers

Sam says: “Evoking the effortless elegance of a French Provençal Rosé, this is a vision of summer in a glass. With attractive notes of ripe strawberries, peach, melon and conference pear, this pretty pale pink blush is light and zesty, making an elegant tipple.”
