Sydney International Wine Competition 2015: Six of Aldi’s cheap wines judged among best

The results of the Sydney International Wine Competition 2015. are being widely reported as a coup for Aldi on most news sites:

Two wines blended specifically for the Aldi retail chain a $4.99 Spanish Tempranillo and a $6.99 Cabernet Sauvignon from South East Australia punched way above their weight, outpointing many far more expensive wines, in the Finals judging of the 34th Sydney International Wine Competition
Out of the 280 wines awarded TOP 1OO, Blue Gold, and Gold accolades (from an Entry of 2000 wines), Aldi had six star performers, with the A.C Byrne Semillon and Shiraz retailing for under $10, and only the Tudor Shiraz ($12.99) and Veuve Monsigny Champagne Premier Cru ($29.99) requiring more than a $10 investment.
The Aldi Tudor Shiraz 2013 also won two trophies the Mark De Havilland Memorial Trophy for Best Red Table Wine of Competition and the Perpetual Trophy for Best Lighter Bodied Dry Red Table Wine of Competition. The Aldi Champagne Veuve Monsigny Premier Cru Brut NV won the Marne et Champagne Diffusion Perpetual Trophy For Best Sparkling.

  • Thanks OP! The Tudor Shiraz sounds promising, has anyone tried it?

  • Tried the Tudor Shiraz last night, I think it's very good and a bargain at that price. My local Aldi was out of stock of the Tempranillo.
