Aldi's Viral "Rosorange" Wine: The Unexpected Blend Dividing Drinkers

London, UK – Aldi's latest wine offering, "Rosorange," has become a sensation on social media, prompting a wave of reviews and discussions. Wine influencer Lucy Hitchcock, known as "Partner in Wine," recently conducted a detailed taste test of the hybrid wine, which combines elements of rosé and orange wine. Hitchcock clarified a common misconception, stating, "Orange wine is not made from oranges, but from skin contact with white grapes during winemaking, which extracts different flavors and tannins, meaning texture." She explained that Aldi's Rosorange is a blend of Grenache and Cinsault grapes, typical of Provence rosé, and three white grape varieties from the South of France, fermented with skin contact to create the orange wine component. Upon tasting, Hitchcock described the wine as "refreshingly dry" with a "lovely texture," noting a "gorgeous mixture of red berries, orange zest, and yellow apples." She suggested pairing it with dishes like hummus and falafel or orange and herb roasted chicken. Priced at £9.99, she recommended it as an ideal entry point for those new to orange wines. However, public opinion remains divided. Comments on the viral video reveal mixed reactions. One user remarked, "Drinking it right now, a small amount of orange smell but none to the taste. Tastes like a cheap dry rosé! Don’t recommend ☹️." Another, expressing initial surprise, said, "I legit thought I'd be drinking orange flavour wine, soo disappointed 😭." Conversely, a satisfied customer commented, "It’s delicious, loads of ice, splash of soda and some orange slices 🥰," while another simply stated, "I really liked it 💕." The diverse feedback highlights the unique and perhaps unexpected profile of Aldi's Rosorange.
