Description

Troppo is built on the simple truth that Grenache and sand are an iconic duo - this 2025 release champions that combination, proving that the Riverland (blended here with McLaren Vale) can produce Grenache that is light on its feet but full of personality.

Sourced from dry-grown vines, the winemaking is deliberately hands-off to preserve the fruit's energy. It involves mostly whole berries, a short time on skins, and a brief rest in older oak and tank. There is no fining and no heavy extraction - just pure, unadulterated juice.

The result is a wine that is all about "crunch" rather than concentration. It bursts with aromatics of fresh and candied raspberries, red liquorice and rhubarb. On the palate, it is juicy and vibrant, with refreshing acidity and just a faint suggestion of tannin. As Brendan and Laura at UZ describe it, it's a "choose your own adventure" wine - equally delicious at room temperature or chilled down for a warm afternoon.

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.

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.
