"We crafted this esoteric little number for Fun & for Love. 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 sweet Vermouth and we love native Australian ingredients - so we developed the ultimate mash-up - for fun! Perfect for solo sipping, cocktails, or on the rocks. The flavor's a delight, the bottle's a stunner - it's a gift-worthy treat (but we won't judge if you keep it all for yourself)."  Unico Zelo Winemaker Tasting Notes

Varieties: Merlot (infused with Yuzu and other botanicals)
Region: Adelaide Hills, Australia
Volume: 750ml
Alcohol: 16% ABV
Farming Practice: Sustainable
Soil Type: Alluvial quartz shot clay 
Vinification and Ageing: Vermouth is a fortified wine made by stopping a wine's fermentation early to preserve residual sugar, then adding neutral grape spirit to reach 15-18% alcohol. The wine base is then infused with a blend of botanicals—herbs, spices, roots, flowers, and citrus peels. This creates a complex, aromatic aperitif perfect for cocktails or sipping neat!

Owners: Brendan & Laura Carter

Being winemakers, we're two people incredibly passionate about the soil and produce we have in Australia. It's our 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. 

It's this passion that has driven us to start two wine labels, one that protects our farmers and another that protects our future. We've since taken these concepts and with our distillery, applewood - catapulted it into the horticultural realm - studying indigenous produce, it's beneficial effects on our land and the stories it can tell through incredible colours, flavours, and textures. 

We seek Australian identity in the products we craft and the services we offer. We seek ways to communicate this with an entirely new demographic. 
Our hope is that these Australian stories can one-day be heard on a global scale.
