Made for Aldi by Rockburn, this is an overt fruit-forward style of Pinot, packed with vanilla, cherryade, strawberry laces and even some cola notes. Balancing out that sweetness, however, is a fresh seam of acidity that prevents it from being cloying. A real crowd pleaser, available online only from November – as is the Jean Gadion Sancerre rouge, another good Pinot pick.
