DRINK OF THE WEEK
28th April 2025
Cambalala Sauvignon Blanc
Aldi £5.70
Drinker Rating 90
So the sun is here at last - well let's make the most of it, it might be all we get! So what do we need - obviously a sippable sauvignon for the patio and an amazing price.
I tend to steer away from New Zealand sauvignons as they are a little over-blown for me - way too much blousy tropical fruit and floral notes - i prefer something a little more restrained such as this Cambalal SB from Aldi.
Buyer beware, for some reaso there are tow South African Cambalala Sauvignons on the shelves at Aldi - this is the slightly more expensive on - look for the bottle with the zig-zag pattern rather than the one with the elephants.
All the zippy freshness and slightly restrained fruit character that you need, a real fridge filling crowd please and under six quid!
Where's the Factor 40?
Cheers!
