Aldi wine picksThe best wines in Aldi, April 2023Athlon Greek Assyrtiko 2022, Greece (12%; £6.99)Aldi’s refreshing Greek assyrtiko was a huge hit in the summer of 2022 and the new vintage is excellent too. It’s not the same, though. And I’m not just talking about vintage change. This year’s version is made by a different wine producer. It’s also a different blend. Where last year’s was 85% assyrtiko and 15% sauvignon blanc, this one is 85% assyrtiko and 15% chardonnay. This makes for a calmer, smoother and slightly less edgy, assertive wine but it’s still lovely – clean and cool, all lemon and grapefruit, a perfect apéritif or drink it with feta and tomato salad or chicken skewers.Filos Estate Greek Chardonnay 2022, Greece (13%; £8.99)New into Aldi in March, this is a glorious white but it’s not what you expect. Why? Well, it doesn’t really taste like a chardonnay. Instead it tastes very Greek: refreshing and mineral with a bracing seam of white grapefruit. I’d pour this for friends who don’t usually drink chardonnay. And have some seafood to hand as it makes you long for cold carpaccio or even oysters, or a barbecued fish with lemon squeezed over it.
