Tasting Notes
Complex aromas and flavours
This wine opens with smoky, amaro-like notes of liquorice and cardamom spice, inviting you into a glass brimming with character. The palate is bright and juicy, balancing ripe blackberry and bitter cherry fruit with savoury undertones of dried herbs and anise.
Textured, savoury finish
The finish is dry, persistent, and lightly tannic, delivering a subtle grip that complements meaty dishes and game. Expect more savoury depth than sweet fruitiness — perfect for those who enjoy wines with a textured, gastronomic edge.

| Winery | Unico Zelo is a small winery run by the youthful Brendan and Laura Carter. Still, only in their mid-twenties, this dynamic couple has been making wine under the Unico Zelo label for the last seven years, taking their inspiration from their intense passion for their native land. The wines are crafted from varieties requiring minimal intervention in the vineyard and the winery. The in-depth study of vineyard sites in South Australia has led them to focus on Italian varieties, such as Fiano and Nero d’Avola, which are perfectly suited to be dry-farmed in the arid Riverland as well as Dolcetto, Nebbiolo and Barbera, which flourish in the inland, continental climate of the Clare Valley. These delicious and unique wines combine sustainability and drinkability to great effect. |
