In a stunning victory for budget-conscious shoppers, Aldi's Exquisite Collection Malbec 2020 has been awarded a coveted gold medal at the International Wine Challenge, one of the wine industry's most respected competitions.
Priced at an astonishingly low £4.99, this South American red wine went head-to-head with bottles costing many times its price and emerged victorious. The judges were blind to the price and origin of the wines, assessing them purely on quality, taste, and character.
The panel of experts described the winning Malbec as having 'pronounced aromas of ripe blackberry, blueberry, and violet,' with a palate that delivers 'rich, juicy black fruit flavours, smooth tannins, and a long, satisfying finish.'
This isn't the first time Aldi's wine selection has impressed critics. The supermarket's buying team has built a formidable reputation for sourcing exceptional wines from around the globe that offer incredible value for money.
This recent accolade is a powerful reminder that a high price tag is not always an indicator of superior quality. For wine lovers, it means a truly excellent bottle can be found for less than a fiver, without ever compromising on taste.
