2022 Unico Zelo Birdwood Fiano

No winery in Australia does more to champion the exciting Fiano variety, and the 2022 Unico Zelo Birdwood Fiano is a bold, premium release of this Mediterranean grape.

Founded by Brendan and Laura Carter, Unico Zelo has made a name for itself by championing Mediterranean varieties like Fiano, chosen for their ability to thrive in Australia’s hot and dry regions. Their approach is rooted in sustainability, with a deep respect for the environment, and a commitment to crafting wines that are both delicious and eco-conscious.

This is a more full-bodied and textural Fiano from Brendan and Laura, bursting with lime oil, jasmine florals, and quartz-like minerality, balanced by spicy, nutty oak. The palate is textural yet fresh, with lively acidity, grapefruit pith, and subtle green apple notes, all framed by hints of vanilla from the oak.

For followers of Unico Zelo, or those seeking a modern, eco-friendly white that’s full of energy and flavour, the 2022 Unico Zelo Birdwood Fiano is an exciting and delicious choice. Extremely limited.
