Unico Zelo Halcyon Days Nero d'Avola 2021
This medium-bodied Nero d'Avola offers plush red fruits and peppery spice, with a juicy acidity that lifts the finish.
The grapes come from the organically farmed Bassham's Block vineyard in Barmera in the Riverland, planted on ancient clay loam soils. The vines are twelve years old.
After de-stemming, the grapes were given a seven-day maceration and fermentation was carried out in stainless steel, using wild yeast. Malolactic fermentation also took place in tank.

Unico Zelo was founded by Brendan and Laura Carter to promote the planting of sustainable and drought resistant varieties like Fiano and Nero d'Avola, in an effort to reduce the amount of water used in the Australian wine industry, particularly in regions that are drought-prone and heavy irrigation is viewed as common practice - primarily the Riverland.
