Unico Zelo True Blue 2021 75cl

Unico Zelo True Blue 

Unico Zelo True Blue is an unapologetically bold and distinctive red wine that honours the Australian tradition of crafting exceptional red blends. With a combination of five carefully selected grape varieties – Grenache, Touriga Nacional, Nero d’Avola, Syrah, and Montepulciano. This wine embodies the diversity and complexity of Australian terroirs.

The wine is an ode to the classic Australian red blend, incorporating varieties suited to their respective climates and crafted with minimal intervention, a hallmark of Unico Zelo’s winemaking philosophy.

Grenache takes centre stage in the blend, providing ripe fruit flavours and body, while Touriga Nacional from Langhorne Creek contributes rich, ironstone-driven characteristics with notes of black fruit and black olive tapenade. Nero d’Avola, Syrah from the renowned Adelaide Hills, and Montepulciano round out the wine, adding layers of spice and complexity. The result is a wine that is approachable yet bold, with an intense flavour profile and an intriguing finish.

• Unico Zelo True Blue opens with a rich bouquet of ripe black fruit, particularly blackberry and plum.
• Grenache provides a smooth, fruit-forward foundation, balanced by Touriga Nacional’s ironstone minerality.
• The addition of Nero d’Avola offers dark fruit nuances and a touch of black olive tapenade.
• Syrah from the Adelaide Hills adds a peppery spice, complementing the wine’s bold structure.
• The wine finishes with a lively, spicy kick from Montepulciano, providing a satisfying, lingering aftertaste.

Unico Zelo True Blue is a versatile red that pairs beautifully with a range of hearty dishes. The richness and ripe fruit make it a perfect match for grilled meats, such as steak or lamb, where its bold flavours can shine. The wine’s spicy finish also complements dishes with a bit of heat, such as barbecue or spicy pasta.

For a more casual pairing, enjoy it with a charcuterie board, featuring a selection of rich cheeses and cured meats. With its full-bodied structure and complex flavour profile, Unico Zelo True Blue is the perfect wine for a variety of occasions, from casual meals to celebratory dinners.
