Details
Laura Carter has been making brilliant wines for nearly a decade now, under her Unico Zelo label. With a deep connection to the Adelaide Hills, she has crafted this bright, fruit-forward rosé from a couple of Merlot vineyards whose fruit is perhaps a little unloved. Strawberries and cream, fairy floss and pomegranate - this really delivers.
Laura and Brendan Carter are on a mission - to make delicious, Australian beverages in a sustainable way and create a thoroughly modern business in the process. Their winery, Unico Zelo is a winery with attitude. We love them, and think you should too. For that reason, we teamed up with them to make a couple of wines that we love, and think you will too! The philosophy of Unico Zelo is to show the world just how varied Australian wine can be, and how flexible and forgiving the fascinating soils of South Australia can be. Their deeply-flavoured wines are inspired by some of the great, powerful wine regions of the world, but Laura and Brendan like to put their own stamp on things. Thus, New Disco was born. New Disco celebrates a modern winemaking approach that focuses on growing the best grapes for our difficult and changing Australian climate, in the most sustainable fashion, to create new takes on established grapes. The wines are moderate in alcohol and taste delicious - take on for a spin.

Pairing guide
Rosé season is well and truly upon us, and what better way to celebrate the return of al fresco dining than with this gorgeous bottle of blushing pink wine? It’s a great pairing for barbecues - this vino is going to match up fantastically with homemade burgers and veggie burgers made from lentils, beetroot, or tofu. It’s fabulous with a turkey salad and with breaded white meats, and will go very well with homemade sausage rolls, charcuterie dishes, Spanish tapas and Italian aperitivo treats, too. It’s also a great pairing for pizza and lasagna, and a whole host of other savoury comforting classics.

Wine region

Adelaide Hills, Australia
The Adelaide Hills wine region, located in South Australia's Mount Lofty Ranges
of South Australia is characterised by its high altitude, cool climate, and diverse soils, which all contribute to the unique terroir that produces elegant, complex, and expressive wines. The region's altitude ranges from 400 to 700 meters above sea level, creating a cooler climate than other wine regions in South Australia. The cool temperatures slow down the ripening process of the grapes, resulting in wines with high acidity, delicate aromatics, and elegant flavours. Top sub-regions are Lenswood, Piccadilly Valley, and Basket Range, each with unique microclimates and diverse soil types that produce singular wine styles, the highlights are Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Shiraz and a whole lot more!
