About The Pack
If you haven't had the pleasure of trying the delicious wines of Brendan and Laura Carter at Unico Zelo yet, today's your lucky day.
These are bright, bouncy and deliciously smashable wines made in a style which suits our food and wine culture in Australia.
The perfect little tasting pack to kick into spring!
2018 Unico Zelo Jade & Jasper Fiano
The Unico Zelo owner/winemaking dynamic duo of Brendan and Laura Carter are hugely passionate about Fiano, and they wholeheartedly believe in this variety's suitability to Australia's climate and culture.
So do we, it's a winner.
This comes from the ancient sandy limestone soils on the iconic Ricca Terrs Farms vineyard in the Riverland region of South Australia. Like in previous years it's a wonderfully textural wine, but I reckon this release seems a little more balanced and even clean-cut than the '17.
It looks the goods. All up it's delicious to drink, perfectly built for enjoying with food and great value for money.

A favourite amongst those who've tracked the Carters from the beginning: the Esoterico is the wild child of the UZ range...
With Brendan and Laura's experience with this style of wine a little richer now, the execution of this skin contact white is on another level.
Supercharged aromatics from the Muscat of Alexandria and the Biano D'Alessano, with a little boost to the mouthfeel from their old friend Fiano. They nailed the recipe this year.
It's orange in colour and cloudy as all get out, it lives up to its esoteric name but with oodles of drinkability. That's what these skinsy whites should all be about.

This is a fresh face in the UZ range, a brand new Rosé in place of Berry Blossom. And it's a cheeky little number.
This wine was put together by the cellar crew at Unico Zelo. The grapes are Fiano, Nero and Sauvignon Blanc, but that's not really the point.
Rosés are meant to be fun and smashable, that's exactly what this is. That's not to say it doesn't have some class to it, but it is just a good, honest drink, and one that is perfectly suited to our warm, seaside culture.
As the U.Z. team puts it, "It's a wine of sharing, enjoyment, frivolity - and freedom." and we couldn't agree more!

Few wine ventures are as committed to the idea of sustainability as Brendan and Laura from Unico Zelo. Their championing of Italian varieties, particularly Nero d'Avola and Fiano, comes from their belief in their suitability to Australia.
Nero is a particularly hardy grape and it thrives in warm, dry climates. So, here they take the fruit from one of the warmest and driest regions in the country and make a glugable, slurpable red which is ideal quaffing for just about any night of the week.
This is their brightest and freshest feeling Nero to date. It's great drinking at a great price if you're a fan of the variety or just wanting to see what it's all about.

Do I have to order in dozens? No, please mix it up! You can order wines in any quantity and variation you like. You can order 1 bottle or 50. We challenge you to make the ultimate mixed pack of wine!
Are there volume discounts? No, our pricing is designed to be the best in market already - no marking up and then discounting down! For very large orders (weddings, etc) we are open to negotiating though. Just give us a call.
Do we price match? Yes, within reason. Everyday low & consistent pricing is something we strongly believe in. We want our customers to feel confident they are always getting the best price. If you see a price lower somewhere else let us know and we'll consider matching it. We'll even retrospectively issue you store credit if you have already purchased from us but you see a lower price somewhere later on. Our price match policy can be seen here.
Can coupons and discounts be stacked? No, only one discount or coupon can be applied to an order at once.
I am trying to add more of a wine to my cart but it won’t let me? This means we are running low on stock of that wine. So for example, if the website will only allow you to add 3 bottles and no more, then that is all we have of that particular wine. The good news is we may be able to order more for you. Just contact us on 1300 668 385 or hello@differentdrop.com and we'll organise the additional quantity for you.
