Description
On the nose, our Union opens with complex aromas of blueberries, violets, smoke, and some mouthwatering bacon fat. It is floral, smoky, and elegant with an excellent definition of aromas. The palate introduces juicy notes of blackberries, black plum, tangy raspberry, and red fruits. There is a hint of succulent mulberry followed by slightly bitter iodine and sweet cola notes. Charcoal and bacon flavours bring a rounded savoury note to this rich wine, making it able to stand up to strong flavours for pairings. This luxury red wine showcases the hardy character of the Tulbagh terroir, and the first aromatic sip will transport you to this tranquil town.
Food Pairing
Consider rich cuts of red meat, well-aged cheese (like Stilton) or wild game.
