With pink wine season officially upon us, there's some good news for rosé lovers. 

You can now get your hands on one of the best bottles in the world — and it'll only cost you £5.99.

According to Metro, The Exquisite Collection Côtes De Provence 2016 just won a silver medal at the International Wine Challenge, which the site calls "the Oscars of the wine industry." It also took home the award for the IWC Great Value Rosé under £8.

The dry rosé won beat other contenders costing more than three times the price, including a 2015 vintage of the same bottle (Côtes De Provence Provence Tradition Rosé 2015) which sells for £17.50, according to The Sun.

Wine rating app and website Vivino gives the wine an average rating of 3.9 out of 5.

"This sensational blend delivers delicate yet intense flavours of summer fruits, with a subtle quartzy spice," Aldi's website reads. "With lovely white fruit aromas, it's the perfect match for grilled fish and salads — or why not try it as an aperitif?"

The budget supermarket saw six other bottles win silver place awards, according to Metro.

Tony Baines, joint managing director of corporate buying at Aldi, said: "We have been working closely with renowned winemaker Jean Claude Mas to change perceptions around French wine, which is often perceived as expensive and intimidating, so it is fantastic to see some of these products acknowledged as some of the best in the world."
