Troppo Grenache 2025
The Wine
Winemakers Notes (Unico Zelo): Bert and Ernie. Tomato and Basil. Grenache and Sand. Iconic duos. We're excited to see the potential of Grenache in the Riverland, as the variety can handle the heat and there is definitely terroir there for it.
Classic Grenache aromatics - fresh & candied raspberries doing their thing, red liquorice, rhubarb. The wine hits the palate with ease - delicious and juicy with that same confected freshness, with some just-picked strawberries adding some levity. Some refreshing acidity brings it all on home, with the ever-so-faint suggestion of tannin bringing it all on home. Just good bloody fun here. Chill it. Don't Chill it. Choose your own adventure.

About the Wine Maker 
Brendan and Laura Carter of Unico Zelo apply an intuitive approach to their wines, making them in natural in all sense of the term. They secure fruit parcels that match the varietal to the soil and climate to region. Nero D’Avola and Fiano from the hot dry Riverland and Nebbiolo from the blue slate soils of Polish Hill in the Clare Valley.
Laura, chief winemaker and her husband, Brendan, are incredibly passionate about the soil and produce in Australia. It’s their intent to showcase products to the rest of the world that embrace Australian native ingredients and pay homage to the indigenous custodianship who maintained the land for thousands of years.
They seek Australian identity in the products they craft, and their hope is that these Australian stories can one-day be heard on a global scale. Unico is part of the “New Australia” movement focusing on alternative varietals, sustainability, natural yeast, vegan friendly.
