Analytical data
dry
Wrapes for this wine were sourced from unirrigated, seven-year-old vineyards planted on iron oxide-rich sandy soils over a limestone base near Waikerie.
Fermentation took place oxidatively and without temperature control in stainless steel using wild yeast. It was followed by three months of aging on its fine lees before bottling.
This Fiano combines a bracing acidity with the textured, waxy mouthfeel so typical of the variety. Crisp yet fully ripe, combining green apples, peach blossom, and honeydew melon with a savoury, pithy complexity

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. |
