Unico Zelo
Unico Zelo is the joyfully unconventional wine project of Brendan and Laura Carter, based in South Australia and driven by curiosity, sustainability, and a refusal to take wine too seriously. The focus is firmly on flavour, drinkability, and regional expression.
Working with drought-resistant, climate-appropriate varieties such as Fiano, Nero d’Avola, Zibibbo and Dolcetto, Unico Zelo champions thoughtful farming and minimal intervention in the cellar. The wines are expressive, approachable, and genuinely fun to drink, without sacrificing depth or integrity.

Frequently asked questions about Unico Zelo
What makes Unico Zelo wines special?
Unico Zelo wines are selected for their quality, personality and sense of place. We focus on producers whose wines feel distinctive, carefully made and genuinely enjoyable to drink.
How are these wines made?
Unico Zelo follows a thoughtful, low-intervention approach to winemaking. The focus is on healthy vineyards, careful farming, hand-harvested fruit, wild yeast fermentations and avoiding unnecessary additions or manipulation in the winery. Rather than chasing a particular style, the aim is to produce wines that honestly reflect the vineyard, the season and the winemaker's intent.
Which Unico Zelo wine should I start with?
If you're new to Unico Zelo, start with the bottle that best matches the style you already enjoy. If you're unsure, get in touch and we'll happily point you toward the best place to begin.
Are these wines good for gifting?
Absolutely. Unico Zelo makes an excellent gift for anyone who enjoys discovering thoughtful, small-batch wines. Add a greeting card at checkout and we'll make sure no pricing information is included in the parcel.
How should I store and serve these wines?
Store bottles somewhere cool, dark and stable. Serve whites, sparkling and lighter reds chilled, and give fuller reds a gentle cool-down rather than serving them too warm.
