Unico Zelo Pollen

Unico Zelo Pollen

WHY WE LOVE IT

  • Pollen has captivating aromatics and utterly unique flavor profile.
  • It is a vegan-friendly Gewürztraminer from Clare Valley.
  • A Northern Italian variety that is grown on a plot in Polish Hill River, with soils of red clay shale over blue slate.
  • The climate is similar to it’s origins including similar rainfall, 600mm annually, altitude, 520m above sea level, distance from the ocean and growing season temperatures.

Varietal Composition: Gewürztraminer

Tasting Notes: Don’t expect any sweetness here, it’s bone dry, and due to some slight early picking, a touch of refreshing acidity, bursting with potpourri, ginger and kaffir lime aromatics, a gorgeous chalky texture, riddled with golden apples, white peach and pineapple.
