- Grenache does the heavy lifting, a variety we haven’t dived into much as it’s far from the underdog varieties we typically use. Touriga Nacional from the mighty Langhorne Creek is our next heavy hitter in the blend. It adds a rich, ironstone drive full of ripe black fruit and black olive tapenade.
The grapes for this wine are sourced from unirrigated vineyards in the 7iverland, Langhorne Creek, and Adelaide Hills.
The grapes were destemmed and following a seven-day maceration, the wine was fermented in stainless steel using wild yeast. Malolactic fermentation also took place in the tank.
This unusual blend shows the character of its components, giving a rich and brooding wine with flavours of black fruits, tapenade, and spice to complement the supple tannins and fresh finish.

| 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. |
