7 May, 2026

• This isn’t the Shiraz shoppers know – Aldi’s NEW Kooliburra White Shiraz is a white wine made from the famous red grape
• Wine expert calls it a “genuinely rare and exciting find” that’s perfect for Pinot Grigio lovers
• The £5.99 (75cl) bottle is set to be the surprising sip of the summer with its crisp, fresh flavour

Aldi has turned the wine world on its head with the launch of its NEW Kooliburra White Shiraz (£5.99, 75cl). This rare and surprising wine has landed in stores just in time for shoppers to enjoy a refreshingly different sip this summer.

Shoppers can forget everything they think they know about Shiraz. It’s so unusual, it’s making wine experts do a double take! While most people know Shiraz as a bold red grape, Aldi’s latest find is a brilliant white. Made from the popular black Shiraz grape but vinified as a white wine through minimal skin contact, this creation means shoppers get all the freshness of a white wine, from a grape they’d never expect – making for a truly unique bottle that’s perfect for discovering something new.

Globally recognised Master of Wine Sam Caporn, one of only 422 worldwide, praises its profile: “This White Shiraz is a genuinely rare and exciting find. It’s crisp and fresh – completely unlike a traditional Shiraz; it’s perfect for Pinot Grigio lovers!”

This intriguing white is a vibrant, light-bodied delight. Sam highlights that shoppers can expect “notes of crunchy raspberry pip and pomegranate, with some softer honeysuckle hints, all balanced by a crisp, zesty acidity”.

It’s a brilliant choice for those looking for a refreshing alternative to their usual white, as well as those who prefer lighter styles.

At just £5.99, this extraordinary Kooliburra White Shiraz is perfect for enjoying chilled in the sunshine, at barbecues, or simply for those moments that call for something out of the ordinary. It proves that sometimes the best discoveries are the most unexpected ones.

Aldi’s NEW Specially Selected White Shiraz is available in stores nationwide now, whilst stocks last.
