2021 Unico Zelo True Blue Red Blend South Australia – Inspired by an intense passion for the land, Unico Zelo craft wines to showcase the unique sites and soils that Australia has to offer – in styles that are typified by the life and culture of this sunburnt country – from varieties that require minimal intervention.
True Blue is an ode to the iconic Australian red blends. Think Cabernet Shiraz or Syrah Pinot. Here we have a blend of Grenache, Touriga, Syrah, Nero d’Avola & Montepulciano which is sourced from the Riverland, Adelaide Hills and Langhorne Creek.
Grenache does the heavy lifting, a variety Unico haven’t dived into much as it’s far from the underdog varieties they typically use. Still, after working with some 1940s vines in the Riverland, they’ve become enamoured with this drought-hardy variety. Touriga Nacional from the mighty Langhorne Creek is their next heavy hitter in the blend. It adds a rich, ironstone drive full of ripe black fruit and black olive tapenade. They’ve pieced the puzzle together with small doses of their beloved Nero D’avola, some lovely Adelaide Hills Syrah (one of the best places to grow it in the country), and a new one for them, Montepulciano, with a lively spicy finish!
As patriotic as they can get, this punchy red is perfect for an old friend and a campfire. Heeeeeyyyyyy True Blue.
