With the winter chill setting in, many Aussies resort to food and drinks that keep them warm.
For some, it's a hearty soup; for others, it could be a warm cup of coffee paired with a pastry.
Meanwhile, wine lovers are about to get some good news that could get them excited.
The Reschke Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon is back on the shelves.
The award-winning red wine has been crowned one of Australia's best and is ready to be taken home.
The Reschke Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon is more than just any budget bottle.
This South Australian stunner has been making waves in the wine industry and has racked up an impressive collection of accolades in 2024.
The Reschke bottle received a silver medal at the ANZ Boutique Wine Show and four bronze medals at some of the country's most prestigious wine competitions.
It has also wowed a panel of judges, receiving a near-perfect score of 95 out of 100.
The best part? This acclaimed bottle is now available at ALDI stores nationwide!
ALDI's Wine Expert and Director of Buying, Jason Bowyer, described the bottle as 'wonderfully rich and enticing', with blackcurrant and dark fruit flavours coming through.
The wine used high-quality grapes grown on the Reschke family's estate in Coonawarra.
This farm boasts rich, red terra rossa soil and ideal grape-growing conditions.
Its deep, ruby colour and aromas of blackberry and cherry should immediately catch wine lovers' attention.
Wine critics have described the Reschke Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon as 'a silky palate with lots of refinement and details'.
'Impressive fruit core and power held up by tannins and acidity that lead a duo act in unison,' critics added.
In other words, it's a wine that fares well above its price tag.
According to the winemaker, these conditions have given the wine' outstanding cellaring potential'.
So, if you can't resist drinking the bottle all at once, it might be worth tucking a few bottles away for special occasions.
On top of the Reschke Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon, ALDI also released a new collection of seasonal wines, all priced under $15 a bottle.
'As the temperature drops, there's nothing like a glass of red to warm things up, whether you're unwinding at home or sharing a meal with friends and loved ones,' Mr Bowyer shared.
'This year we're seeing a balance of both worlds, with some wine drinkers looking for lighter, fresher styles, while others stick with those classic, full-bodied favourites.'
'Fortunately, ALDI's selection has something for everyone,' Mr Bowyer concluded.
ALDI's wine range has had a following among savvy shoppers.
By working directly with local producers, ALDI has been offering high-quality wines at hard-to-beat prices.
Many of their bottles have taken home international awards, proving that you don't need to spend a fortune to enjoy a great glass of wine.
