Indulge in English Wine Week (21st-29th June) with the launch of Aldi’s Bowler & Brolly x London Cru Pét-Nat, a premium sparkling wine crafted from English grapes.
Available in stores from 26th June, at just £12.99 a bottle, this exclusive boutique-style wine offers shoppers a unique opportunity to enjoy premium English winemaking at an incredible price.
Bowler & Brolly x London Cru Pét-Natis made in collaboration with London Cru, London’s first urban winery. Known for supplying wines to some of London’s most prestigious hotels and restaurants such as Raffles and The Dorchester Collection, London Cru brings its expertise to Aldi shelves with this playful and approachable sparkling wine.
Crafted from a blend of Reichensteiner, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Chardonnay and Bacchus, this sparkling wine delivers bright apple notes, zesty citrus flavours and fine bubbles. With no added sugar, it offers a fresh, bone-dry profile perfect for summer celebrations. Its versatility makes it ideal for pairing with BBQs, salads, seafood, or as an aperitif.
The wine is bottled unfiltered and unfined, meaning it’s undergone minimal processing leaving the lees in the bottle for added complexity and a slightly cloudy appearance. This centuries-old production method is a deliberate decision to add more flavour, texture, and a desire to preserve more of the wine’s natural characteristics. Unlike traditional English sparkling wines, which follow strict rules, Pét-Nat allows winemakers greater creative freedom, resulting in a fun and modern product.
Julie Ashfield, Chief Commercial Officer at Aldi UK, says: “We’re thrilled to bring Bowler & Brolly x London Cru Pétillant Naturel to our shelves for English Wine Week. This exclusive sparkling wine showcases the very best of English winemaking – premium quality, innovation, and incredible value.
“At just £12.99 a bottle, it’s a fantastic opportunity for our customers to enjoy a boutique-style wine without the premium price tag.”
Alex Hurley, Winemaker at London Cru, says: “The Bowler and Brolly x London Cru Pét-Nat has been an incredibly exciting project for us, one where we’ve truly enjoyed bringing a value-driven English sparkling across UK and Ireland.
“Collaborating with Aldi gives us the chance to share our boutique London-made craft wines with a broader audience while staying true to our playful character. This unfiltered, unfined Pét-Nat is a celebration of English grapes and made with summer sipping firmly in mind.”
Be among the first to experience Bowler & Brolly x London Cru Pétillant Naturel, available exclusively in Aldi stores from 26th June 2025.
