Unico Zelo

Meet Brendan + Laura Carter

Location: Adelaide Hills, Australia

Farming Practices: Regenerative and B. Corp Certified

Unico Zelo is the brainchild of Brendan and Laura Carter, a husband-and-wife duo who’ve made it their mission to craft wines that are unapologetically Australian—built for the climate, the culture, and the people who drink them. Based in the Adelaide Hills, they focus on Mediterranean varieties like Fiano, Nero d’Avola, and Dolcetto that thrive in Australia’s dry conditions, allowing them to farm with minimal irrigation and maximum sustainability.

Their winemaking is playful but purposeful: native yeasts, low intervention, and a deep respect for site expression. Unico Zelo was the first Australian winery to become a Certified B Corp, and their commitment to holistic sustainability runs through everything they do—from regenerative farming to social impact. The wines are vibrant, textural, and full of personality, just like the team behind them. Whether it’s a skin-contact white or a juicy red, each bottle is a love letter to the land and a nudge toward a more climate-conscious future.

Take a sip home with you!
