Description

"Life affirming" probably isn't the best way to describe this wine, but it comes close. The blend may sound a little bit weird on paper, but if Unico Zelo has taught us one thing, it's to be open minded and to drink it before you judge it. And hot damn, this wine is good.

Light and dry, with an array of scents and flavours, ranging from red cherries to green apples, blueberries to passionfruit. It's a veritable fruit salad of a wine, but it works effortlessly. Light and bright, with crunchy acid, it's designed to take a chill and for a relaxed drinking session. Fragrant and fun. Fine form from Unico Zelo, as always.

"Plenty of racy red berries and blue fruit, with an elevated acidity for the flexibility of chilling, with just a hint of chewy, green tannin. So fresh it feels like fermentation finished yesterday. A perfect gateway into the Tropo range."

    Bang for buck this is a great drop

    I love the blend of red and white grapes that is in at the moment. Unico Zello do it great with this refreshing, light delicious offering. Serve chilled. Great value for money.

    What a little stunner

    The UZ team may not have aced the troppo labels (sorry team) but as always they surprise and delight with their wines, this little red is no exception. Great price for a delicious chilled red/white.

    Red/whites are where it’s at this season and UZ nailed it with this one. 👌

    Smashable crowd-pleaser

    Loads of fresh red fruit on the nose and the palate. Vibrant acidity. Could go well with spicy food or Italian but is equally enjoyable followed by another full glass of itself. Great value for the drop.

Unico Zelo

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.”

Since bursting onto the scene in 2014 with their eye-catching, outrageously good value alternative vino, the Carters have spread their wings and their range. They now make a large suite of wines, including single vineyard examples of Fiano, Nero d'Avola and Nebbiolo. They are one of the most dynamic winemaking duos in the Adelaide Hills.

Ordering

We want Different Drop customers to always be getting the best price. If you see a lower price elsewhere, just get in touch and we will sort it out for you. We handle all our price-matching on a case by case basis.

Some things to keep in mind: 

  • Retrospective price-matching is available for 30 days after you have purchased from us.
  • The price match cannot be used in conjunction with a coupon or one-off deal we are offering. The idea is for you to get the best price in the market so if that is already achieved through a coupon then we won't price match on top of that.
  • We don't price match clearance or fire sales.
  • We’ll match the listed price as long as it is a legitimate offer and the competing store is actually able to fulfil the order (they have stock or more stock is en route). Essentially we won't price match cheeky vendors listing wines they have no hope of actually getting for you...
  • It must be a publicly listed price. We won't match a price that has been achieved through a coupon/cash-back arrangement, or through a non-advertised offer over the phone or otherwise.  
  • It is limited to a reasonable retail quantity.

We'll treat each price match request on its merit and reserve the right to refuse where we deem fit. For example, particularly rare wines, from non-trust-worthy vendors, in circumstances we deem illegitimate or if we feel our policy is being unfairly taken advantage of.

At the end of the day, we'll look after you and use common sense to ensure you're getting the best price, please just don't take the p%$$!

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

We stock three different sized gift boxes (single, three bottle and six), all are available for purchase for a flat rate of $8. They look great and make an awesome impression.

To add a gift box to your order, simply add at checkout. The special requests box is your friend, please give us as many details of what you are looking for and we will try our best, or get in contact to discuss it with you. 

If you want to bulk order gifts or if you have any trouble please email hello@differentdrop.com or call and we can try and help.

 

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
