Unico Zelo Jungle Jungle Dolcetto 2022
This medium-weight Dolcetto has all the trademark sour cherry and bitter chocolate flavours of the variety, whilst the ripeness of the fruit is perfectly complemented by a crisp acidity. Supple, juicy and refreshing, but with real substance and structure.
The grapes for this wine are sourced from unirrigated, twenty-eight-year-old vineyards planted on shale soils over a blue slate base, in the Polish Hill River sub-region of the Clare Valley.
Following a four-day maceration, fermentation took place without temperature control in stainless steel, using only wild yeast.
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.
