Applewood Distillery, in collaboration with Unico Zelo, introduces a refreshing innovation in the world of spirits with its latest creation, Unico Zelo Mandocello. This handcrafted liqueur is a celebration of Australian citrus, specifically the dekapon mandarins sourced from the Riverland, known for their unmatched juiciness and size. As a leading figure in sustainable spirits, Unico Zelo’s venture into Mandocello follows their successful venture into limoncello, marking their ongoing commitment to sustainability and excellence.
The creation of Unico Zelo Mandocello represents a journey of sustainability and innovation. Laura and Brendan Carter, the creative minds behind this unique liqueur, hand-peeled a tonne of dekopon mandarins. These fruits, deemed too small or visually unappealing for the consumer market, were given a new lease on life, transforming potential waste into a delightful spirit. The mandarin peels were then steeped in grape-based alcohol for six weeks, with a final touch of Queensland sugar added before the bottling process, ensuring a perfect balance of sweetness.
Unico Zelo Mandocello is a vibrant testament to the rich citrus heritage of the Riverland region. By utilizing dekapon mandarins, this liqueur captures the essence of the area’s fruitful bounty. The process not only highlights the potential of local produce but also reinforces the importance of sustainable practices in the spirits industry.
Unico Zelo Mandocello offers a tasting experience that is both refreshing and vibrant. Its profile is characterized by the sweet and tangy flavours of Riverland citrus, balanced beautifully with the depth provided by the grape-based alcohol and the subtle sweetness from Queensland sugar. This liqueur is an ideal ingredient for crafting the ultimate summer beverage – the Mando Spritz.
To enjoy the full essence of Unico Zelo Mandocello, transform it into a Mando Spritz:
Unico Zelo’s foray into sustainable spirits doesn’t end with Mandocello. Their commitment to utilizing imperfect fruits and transforming them into exquisite liqueurs is evident in their previous work with limoncello and continues to inspire their future projects. This approach not only results in unique and flavourful spirits but also contributes positively to reducing food waste.
Unico Zelo Mandocello, brought to life by Applewood Distillery, is more than just a liqueur; it’s a celebration of innovation, sustainability, and the rich citrus bounty of Australia’s Riverland. Through the meticulous handcrafting process, sustainable sourcing, and dedication to quality, this vibrant liqueur stands as a testament to what can be achieved when creativity meets environmental responsibility. Whether enjoyed in a Mando Spritz or savoured on its own, Unico Zelo Mandocello invites you to experience the ultimate taste of summer, all while supporting sustainable practices in the spirit industry.
