Description
The Union reveals a deep red to black colour with a vibrant and energetic hue. It offers a brooding bouquet of pencil lead, truffle, fruitcake and violets. A very expressive and multi- dimensional nose further reveals aromas of sage, raspberry, red cherry preserve, cola and iodine. Full-bodied and dense, yet incredibly light on its feet. Seamless tannins and a slightly lifted acid structure gives great length and tension to the wine. The Union displays a fantastically youthful and pure – almost innocent – character. A maiden vintage that's set for an exciting future.
Food Pairing
Consider rich cuts of red meat, well-aged cheese (like Stilton) or wild game.
