Founded by the passionate young winemaking duo Laura and Brandon Carter in the Adelaide Hills, this modern estate operates with a beautifully simple philosophy: crafting delicious, sustainable wines that make people smile. Recognising that Australia's climate is changing, they stepped away from traditional French grapes and focused heavily on sun-loving \u003cb\u003eItalian grape varieties\u003c\/b\u003e like Nero d'Avola and Fiano. This clever approach means the vines thrive naturally with very little water, resulting in vibrant, juicy, and incredibly approachable wines that are explicitly designed to be casual, fun, and open to everyone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese energetic expressions are all about bright fruit, refreshing crispness, and instant enjoyment, matching the lively and creative labels on the front of the bottles. When you pour a glass of their signature red wines, they welcome you with a delightfully fresh basket of crunchy red cherries, wild strawberries, and a faint hint of fragrant dried herbs. On the white wine side, their focus on alternative varieties delivers a gorgeous wave of bright tropical fruits, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and a clean, thirst-quenching minerality that leaves your mouth watering for another sip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA popular favourite is \u003cb\u003eUnico Zelo Fresh A.F.\u003c\/b\u003e, an incredibly vibrant, juicy red blend of Nero d'Avola and Zibibbo that drinks like a dream, bursting with sweet red berries, floral aromas, and a refreshing lift that makes it perfect even when served lightly chilled. If you prefer a beautifully textured white wine, \u003cb\u003eUnico Zelo Jade \u0026amp; Jasper Fiano\u003c\/b\u003e delivers a highly aromatic, luscious palate packed with yellow peach, orange blossom, and a crisp, crunchy finish. We also stock \u003cb\u003eUnico Zelo Truffle Hound\u003c\/b\u003e, a wonderfully savoury, smooth red blend inspired by northern Italy that offers a plush texture full of dark cherries, smoky spice, and soft tannins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a complete look at their creative style, \u003cb\u003eUnico Zelo Esoterico\u003c\/b\u003e is their legendary orange wine - a white wine crafted like a red with extended skin contact - resulting in a highly intriguing, copper-coloured pour full of dried apricot, spice, and unique texture. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe joyful, fruit-forward nature and bright acidity of these wines make them the ultimate companions for casual, real-life moments, making them an excellent choice for a sunny weekend in the garden, a lively Friday night pizza night, or a relaxed barbecue with friends. Open a bottle alongside Mediterranean antipasti, grilled chicken, or simply on its own to bring instant pleasure to your next gathering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUNICO ZELO\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"unico-zelo-esoterico-orange-wine","title":"Unico Zelo Esoterico 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003eEsoterico has become the cult wine for Unico Zelo. Not exactly a white wine, nor a red wine, it is best described as an Orange or Amber wine. The process involves three white grape varieties left on their skins (much like red wine) to develop rich aromatics and super zesty flavours. Aware of how drying these type of wines can be the team at Unico Zelo specifically sought Zibbibo (for it’s sweeter aromatics and waxy\/oily mouthfeel), Fiano and Moscato Giallo (for it’s spritely acidity). No additions of any kind are made except for sulphur when the wine is bottled. There is no fining or filtration involved, with the wine allowed to clarify by gravity alone, resulting in a slight haze and sediment. There is no preconceived idea of what this wine should taste like, the key driver being one of just pure drinkability, mouthwatering acidity and 'say hello!' tannins.
