In this episode, we dig into what makes that site so distinctive, why Piccadilly Valley fruit carries such a signatu...

The Cellar Door Podcast ·

2025/11/08

2025/10/18

Send us a text Ed Cavanagh’s wine writing stands apart. He somehow fuses the flair of a journalist with the depth and precision of a scholar — a rare combination, but then again, few writers in the wine world have a background quite like his. Many of you will know Ed from his work across the Limestone Coast wine industry, or from his time in cellar doors throughout South and Western Australia. But his story stretches much further — from the world of law and academia, including a Cambridge Fe...

Brendan Carter on challenging Australian wine culture

The Cellar Door Podcast ·

2025/09/27

Send us a text I first came across Unico Zelo almost a decade ago, in a wine shop in Kansas City. The owners poured me a skin-contact white from South Australia, a wine I’d never seen before. I was immediately struck by its vibrant label, its unusual blend, and its perfectly fitting name: Esoterico. That was my first introduction to Brendan Carter and his work at Unico Zelo. Since then, I’ve watched in awe as the brand has expanded, pivoted, adapted, and expanded again - a cycle that has beco...
