2023 Unico Zelo Magic 38

The team at Wine For the People (Unico Zelo's excellent wine content YouTube Channel) has produced this little cheeky red wine as a bit of a tip of the cap to the vibrant Tavel Rosé style. This light red made from Syrah/Shiraz is here for a good time, not a long time.

Utilizing Adelaide Hills Syrah sourced from a previous Jimmy Watson-winning vineyard, they made this in a similar style to that of a Beaujolais Nouveau. Employing carbonic maceration for five days followed by morning crushing of whole bunches and afternoon pressing, the juice underwent wild fermentation in stainless steel tanks, where it patiently rested until its bottling in January. 

The resulting wine is incredibly fresh, giving you flavours of ripe raspberries, apples, and red cherry, complemented by subtle Syrah-esque spices in the background. 

This was a super limited once-off production. Just one barrel made and we have just five dozen available!
