Guide to Sauvignon Blanc & Semillon Feature Week
Kaiora Bay Reserve Sauvignon Blanc 2025, Marlborough, AUD $13
Not all Aldi stores are licensed to sell liquor, and they don’t have a selling website, but if you go online they have a handy store locator that shows your nearest stockist.
Lifted aromatics, floral, herbal and slightly sweaty, the palate tense and dry with focus and length, passionfruit/tropical flavours lingering long on the follow-through. Has some fruit concentration. Delicate yet intense, and very quaffable. (Screwcap)
