The team at Unico Zelo are back at again. They've made a new vibrant, refreshing liqueur using the juiciest and biggest Mandarins the Dekapon all sourced from Riverland. They suggest to serve as a Spritz! Being winemakers, Brendan & Laura are two people incredibly passionate about the soil and produce we have 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.

From our friends at Unico Zelo comes this uniquely Australian take on sweet vermouth. Brendan & Laura take Adelaide Hills Merlot, and Yuzu fruit to come up with this tasty little number. The Carters’ describe it thus - “We Made A Yuzu Vermouth! We love fine Adelaide Hills Merlot, we love Yuzu - the most amazing little asiatic citrus we've encountered throughout our exploration of exotic flavours, we love Vermouth and we love native Australian ingredients - so we developed the ultimate mash-up!” Also adds a delicious twist on a Negroni!

Starting with a base of undervalued Sauvignon Blanc from the Adelaide Hills, your Vermouth game is about to get a serious upgrade. With a touch of skins on the press, the base wine itself gives us some big daddy acid, full of tropical fruit and maximum texture. Alongside the star of the show - Pomelo from the Riverland - we've added some ruby grapefruits for texture, peppermint gum for some refreshing aromatics and finally, finger limes for some acid pop. Blended with both fresh and dried wormwood for a double-barrelled hit of herbals, Unico Pomelo is your next go-to dry vermouth for a huge hit of attitude.

With a blend of undervalued Pinot Gris from the Adelaide Hills and Grenache from the Riverland, your next aperitif is about to win the Superbowl. There's some epic crunch from skin contact on the Pinot Gris and we've blended in enough Grenache to make you think you've eaten watermelon sugar. Alongside the star of the show - Rosella from the tropical Australian north - we've added some Davidson Plum for some zip and grip and some strawberry gum for uplifted aromatics. Blended with both fresh and dried wormwood for a fresh drop of herbals, Unico Rosa is about to give you 10 minutes of pure fire. until you pour yourself another!

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.” There is a bit of a shift this year for Pastafarian, with the inclusion of Sangiovese! The ultimate pasta variety, it must be said. Ask Brendan, Unico Zelo has long been critical of Sangiovese’s future in Australia, but after some recent encounters with other producers' expressions of the variety, they’ve jumped on the bandwagon. Lucky for the winery, it wasn’t far from home, as the fruit is from the lovely Polish Hill River Vineyard. Still, this wine is Nebbiolo through and through, and it’s the perfect marriage with Slovenian Oak for a perfumed, blue fruited and savoury structured Langhe-style Nebb. A touch of Merlot and Nero to add somebody (and a nice little spice too!). Top shelf here, finding an identity all of its own. Great wine.

Coffee beans are freshly roasted in the Adelaide Hills by Johnny Scott from Mighty Mighty Coffee and then cold infused over 24 hours. Blended with a grape spirit to create a smooth coffee liqueur, perfect in your next espresso martini or simply on the rocks.

We take our Limoncello perhaps a tad seriously. Made from a safely guarded recipe - two different types of lemons from South Australia's oldest citrus plantation in Lennane Orchards, Montacute Valley, Adelaide Hills. This citrus orchard is believed to be planted 150 years ago. Why is our Limoncello important? The lemons are what one might call "UGLY". Yes, they are different sizes and kind of weird looking. Unfortunately, that meant that supermarkets did not want to buy them. So, after trying to sell these ugly little lemons for years, the growers decided to remove the 150 year old trees. To help preserve this historic orchard, Applewood Distillery put up our hands and promised to buy all whole crop to make our delicious Limoncello. It is our labour of love. Literally! We spend 12 hours hand peeling lemons from the orchard to produce this delicious drop. In fact, we have a family ritual of taking turns to peel a couple of buckets a day. Everyone chips in! We think all lemons are beautiful and hope you do too. Saluti! Please note: This is an unfiltered product and a harmless sediment may occur.
