Tom Doorley’s Easter wine pairings:

Buenas Vides Organic Argentinian Malbec €8.79 (was €10.99)

A rich and supple red wine, this organic Malbec from Argentina is an excellent partner for Easter lamb. Quite big but impeccably balanced, the sustainably grown grapes are from the high-altitude Uco Valley - which explains the freshness.

Specially Selected Valpolicella €8.99 (was €10.99)

In a sense this wine is a cousin of Amarone (but much, much more affordable!) and this explains the lovely combination of concentrated fruit and rich dark cherry character with fresh acidity. It's assertive enough to partner with lots of Easter dishes from roast lamb (or beef) to hearty pasta bakes but is never less than elegant.

Specially Selected Picpoul de Pinet €7.99 (was €9.99)

In Languedoc dialect “picpoul” means “lip-stinger” reflecting this local grape’s ability to keep its fresh acidity intact even in very hot vineyards. It’s a revelation: zingy, zesty, with grapefruit zest and a touch of white peach. A wine for Springtime, it's a great match for Easter seafood dishes, smoked salmon or even roast pork!

Specially Selected Crémant de Loire €12.99 (was €14.99)

Brilliantly fresh and fully sparkling, this is a combination of Chenin Blanc, as you would expect from the Loire, with Chardonnay and Cabernet Franc. Crisp and quite dry with citrus zest and luscious pear, it’s a wine of celebration so simply perfect to mark the Easter season.

 

Elevate your Easter feast and pop into your nearest ALDI store to discover the award-winning range of lamb and wine.
