Unico Zelo is a small winery, run by the youthful Brendan and Laura Carter. Still only in their mid-twenties, this dynamic couple have 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 that require minimal intervention, both 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 being 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.
Unico Zelo 'The River' is a red wine made from Nero d’Avola grapes. A native variety of Sicily in southern Italy this grape has a new found home in Australia where it thrives in the sun drenched climate. Deep dark red in colour with black tinged edges and a vibrant crimson hue. The nose features aromas of ripe dark cherries married to fresh herbs, earthy incense characters and spice. Medium bodied the palate possesses juicy dark cherry flavours which are tied to plum, earthy incense infusions and spicy fresh herbs. The wine finishes dry with good freshness and fine grained tannins.
Tasting Note:
