Unico Zelo Rosa Vermouth

Unico Zelo Rosa Vermouth is a vibrant and expressive Australian rosé vermouth crafted in South Australia by innovative winemakers Brendan and Laura Carter. Combining skin-contact Pinot Gris from the Adelaide Hills with Grenache from the Riverland, this distinctive aromatised wine celebrates the freshness of Australian fruit and the complexity of native botanicals. Rosella hibiscus brings bright floral character, while Davidson plum adds tangy fruit intensity and strawberry gum contributes lifted aromatics. Fresh and dried wormwood provide an elegant herbal bitterness, creating a beautifully balanced and refreshing aperitif. Vibrant pink in colour, Unico Rosa offers enticing notes of juicy watermelon, fresh strawberries, tart plum and delicate florals. Its textured palate combines lively acidity, expressive red fruit and gentle botanical complexity, leading to a refreshing, pleasantly bittersweet finish. Bottled at 16% ABV, Unico Zelo Rosa Vermouth is a distinctive contemporary interpretation of traditional vermouth.
