Description

Founded in 2012, Unico is committed to sustainable winemaking, growing low-water grapes and using minimal intervention practices. They expanded with a distillery using native ingredients (Applewood Distillery) and a wine cooperative (Troppo) to address excess production of conventional grape varieties.

They track performance in areas like governance, community, and responsible drinking. They are proud to be B Corp certified and are working towards the Freshcare Australian Wine Industry Standard of Sustainable Practice (Winery)

They share the journey so you can learn from their mistakes. They are honest about the challenges and sometimes they’ve even traded one environmental issue for another (e.g., removing plastic, but introducing higher transport carbon emissions). They publicly share the environmental impact once a year and review the sustainability plans with the team.

The goal is to be a leader in sustainable winemaking and distilling in Australia. They believe in working within the landscape and leaving it better than they found it.
