Send us a text We blind taste Aldi’s Blackstone Paddock against renowned Australian bottles and were absolutely shocked by what we found. • Aldi wines + our end of year partnership • Aldi Blackstone Paddock Tasmanian Pinot Gris ($19.99) tasted with a renowned Tasmanian Pinot Gris worth approx $40 - a beautiful alsatian style with savoury notes and oily texture. • Aldi Blackstone Paddock Margaret River Chardonnay ($19.99) tasted with a great $70 Margaret River Chardonnay. It emerged as a modern, flinty style. Daring, aimed at wine nerds - impressive. • Aldi Blackstone Paddock Tasmanian Pinot Noir ($19.99) beside two other Tassie Pinot Noirs ($40 and $50) - the Aldi stood tall in quality, delivering finesse. • Aldi Blackstone Paddock Margaret River Cabernet ($19.99) structure, tannin, and cellaring advice • Why Aldi’s team leans into authentic regional profiles • Availability notes and state restrictions on liquor sales • Teaser for next week’s interview with the Aldi wine buyer Check out your local Aldi store and explore the Blackstone Paddock range Follow us on instagram @winewithmegandmel
