About
A crisp, brut-dry Blanc de Blancs made entirely from Chardonnay grown on an elevated, exposed site in South Australia's Fleurieu Peninsula. Made using the Charmat (tank-fermented) method rather than traditional bottle fermentation, it carries a fine, persistent bead, plenty of regional minerality and a tangy green apple and lemon character with a touch of orange blossom. Built to be poured young and chilled, not cellared.
Troppo grew out of an earlier Unico Zelo project called Harvest. That project paid struggling Adelaide Hills growers a share of profits once their wine sold. When tax rules forced a more conventional buying arrangement, Brendan and Laura Carter relaunched the range as Troppo in 2021. It is built around paying growers above-average rates upfront instead.
The wider range groups its wines by mood and craving rather than by variety, aiming to be approachable, drinkable and affordable rather than collectible. This Chardonnay fizz fits that brief exactly.
Producer note
Troppo is Unico Zelo's everyday, lower-priced range, sold alongside Unico Zelo's mainline wines through the same retailers. This Blanc de Blancs is tank-fermented using the Charmat method — the same process used for Prosecco — rather than traditional bottle fermentation, keeping it bright, simple and gulpable.
