Description
Unico Zelo is the project of winemaking couple Brendan and Laura Carter.
In their words, their aim is to create “Italian-inspired, textural and site-expressive wines” and “Australian examples of Mediterranean varieties in an approachable and jovial fashion.” Lemongrass, lime-leaf, guava, but there is that incredible flinty, reductive whiff that is always here when the wine is in peak form.
As you may pick up – it is in peak form.
So much grapefruit and quartz charging down the middle of the palate, with bits of jasmine and nectarine trailing in its wake.
I don’t think we’ve captured the Birdwood soil profile so well in a wine before.
You could chew on this acid for days.
Alluvium feels special this year.
