About this Wine

Tarrango is a grape with a weird and wonderful history. It was actually designed by CSIRO scientists in 1972 specifically for the scorching heat of inland Australia. By crossing noble Portuguese Touriga with humble Sultana, they created a variety that retains "champagne-level" acidity even when it hits 38°C in the shade. Laura and Brendan Carter have rescued this forgotten science project from the Swan Hill region, turning it into the ultimate "beach cricket" red.

The fruit comes from ancient sandy limestone soils and is handled with a light touch to keep the vibe breezy. It’s picked early and bottled fresh (at just 11.5% alcohol) to preserve its primary, zingy energy. This isn't a wine meant for a dusty cellar; it’s a wine built for an ice bucket and a hot afternoon.

In the glass, it delivers a massive hit of sour cherry, watermelon, and pink grapefruit. It’s impossibly light on its feet with a citrus zing that makes it dangerously easy to drink. Another fascinating, thought-provoking wine from Unico Zelo and as always, tremendous value for money!
