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.
