Tropo Big Red By Unico Zelo 2021
The Wine
Big Red has plenty of blue fruit on show with a near-even split of Syrah and Merlot from Birdwood sub-region in the Adelaide Hills. There's a herbal edge and lovely dusting of olive tapenade, a signature of Merlot. The tannin extraction has been restrained to keep this in a cool climate style with plenty of drinkability.

About the Wine Maker 
Never ones to stand still Brendan & Laura Carter of Unico Zelo decided to launch Tropo, a collection of wines that taste exactly how they look. Fun, contemporary ’throw the bottles on top of ice’ styles that are uncomplicated and do we dare say ’smashable’? wines. I think they would approve. This year’s releases all hail from Adelaide Hills from growers they have known and worked with for many years as part of their former Harvest co-op concept, so the connections and relationships continue to this new brand. Little Red, Big Red, Blanc de Blanc Sparkling, Pink Pet Nat and Pinot Noir make up this exciting range that offers eyebrow raising value vs the quality in the bottle, something the Carter’s have kept striving for since inception with all their wines and we love them for it. Wine for the people? Cheers to that.
