Unico Zelo Alluvium Fiano 2021

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. – Winemakers notes The Finer Details Style – White Varietal – Fiano Country – Australia Region – Adelaide Hill, South Australia Vintage – 2021 Size – 750 ml ABV – 12.5% Other – Vegan Friendly
