ALDI is delighted to launch its eagerly anticipated spring/summer wine range for 2025. Available in stores nationwide from March 3rd, this year’s collection boasts an incredible selection of reds, whites, rosés and sparkling wines, as well as brand new ready-to-drink spritzes and non-alcoholic varieties - meaning there is something for everyone!  


This year, ALDI has enlisted well-known Irish wine expert Tom Doorley to cast an eye over the spring/summer collection and predict which bottles of wine he expects to fly off shelves.

Speaking about the seasonal range, Tom Doorley, ALDI Wine Ambassador, said:It is always exciting to dive into ALDI’s seasonal wine collections, and this year is no exception.  Keenly priced as ever and featuring both old favourites and exciting new and additions from unexpected regions like Bulgaria and Macedonia, there’s something for everyone.  As to what’s likely to be the best sellers in this collection, I have a few ideas!!”   

 

Tom Doorley’s spring/summer 2025 wine picks are:  

Cambalala 0% Pinot Grigio Blush €3.99 If you are looking for a zero-alcohol alternative, we have you covered with this award-winning 0% Pinot Grigio Blush from South Africa, Think strawberries and cream, the taste of summer. 

Bulgarian Pinot Noir Rosé €8.99 Looking for something different in a rosé? Here’s a pink Pinot Noir from Bulgaria’s Thracian Valley, one of the oldest winemaking regions in the world. Pretty to look at, and distinctly different. 



Macedonian Primitivo Kratosija €8.99 ALDI customers love the Primitivo grape and here it joins Macedonia’s very own Kratosija to make a velvety, rich red from the Balkans. 

Specially Selected Costières de Nimes Blanc €9.99 A brand new arrival from the Southern Rhône, bringing fresh but luscious flavours of ripe red apple and peach to this blend of Roussanne and Grenache. 

Specially Selected Caladoc Rouge €11.99 Not one of the usual suspects. Caladoc is a cross between Grenache and Malbec. Ripe and juicy with blackcurrant, plum and thyme. A very pleasant surprise.

Specially Selected French Rosorange Rosé €11.99 This new hybrid wine arrives in Ireland having gone viral in the UK last year. It combines rosé and mega fashionable skin-contact white wine to create a dry, fruity, Summery experience. Destined to be an Instagram sensation! 

Specially Selected Washington State Syrah €11.99 Syrah with a difference! The relatively cool Pacific Northwest climate of Washington State’s Columbia Valley delivers a red wine big on red berries but with a certain freshness and a touch of pepper. 

 

Among the other noteworthy standouts from this year’s collection is ALDI’s range of ready-to-drink spritzes. Transport yourself to sunnier climes with Aperitivo Spritz €7.99, Hugo Spritz €7.99, and Limoncello Spritz €7.99.  Deliciously fuss-free, they cost a mere fraction of what the average spritz costs in a bar and require no mixing. Simply pour over ice and enjoy. Plus, at just 7% ABV, they are perfect for summer drinking.  

 

Commenting on this year’s collection, Rachael O’Connor, Buying Director of Wine at ALDI, said:  

We are thrilled to unveil this year’s spring/summer wine collection. At ALDI, we are committed to delivering great quality products at exceptional prices and I am confident that this year’s collection delivers on that promise for Irish wine lovers. I am thrilled to bring back favourites from France, Spain, Portugal, Italy and Argentina as well as brand new gems from the likes of Bulgaria, North Macedonia, Germany and South Africa, meaning there’s something to suit every taste. I hope our customers have as much fun exploring this year’s collection as we did curating it.”
