ZONTE'S FOOTSTEP "Baron Von Nemesis" - Shiraz - Barossa Valley - Australia
Zonte's Footstep "Baron Von Nemesis - Shiraz - Barossa Valley - Australia
Barossa blood red colour with a purple hue. On the nose, super blackberries and pure unadulterated 90% Cocoa chocolate. Black plums, macerated raspberry with hints of cracked pepper and brambly spice. Generous dark fruits on the palate, a full and frank Shiraz start. Classic Barossa. Generous, flavoursome with sweet blackberry pie and dark, dry cocoa mouth feel. The after palate begins with sweet berry fruit then tightens up with fine fruit and oak tannin. Sweet Christmas spice cuts through the hints of jamminess. On the finish, youthful austerity as you would expect from such a classic, old-school Shiraz. We imagine drinking this wine with hard local cheeses the cheese is optional.

Vegan Wine
Though made entirely the same way as all wines, vegan wines are wines in which during the winemaking step of "fining" that is needed to filter the wine, no animal-based products are used. The most common fining agents used by the wine industry are egg whites and milk protein. Vegan wines instead use alternatives such as clay or plant-based fining agents.

Vineyard Info
Zonte's Footstep is a proud, independent Australian wine producer. We take our vineyards and our wine, but not ourselves too seriously... Our grapes are sourced from our own, as well as our mate's, vineyards, from regions that produce expressive, varietal characteristics for the grapes being grown. Located in the McLaren Vale, Langhorne Creek, Adelaide Hills, Barossa and further afield. Hence the simple, but diligent pursuit of producing wines that reflect a sense of place, style and purpose. We have always aimed to produce wines with personality and expression... That's why we gave them names. Now these wines have evolved to have a face of their own!
The grapes used for ZONTE'S FOOTSTEP "Baron Von Nemesis" are sourced from hand tended blocks in the Eden Valley sub-region of the Barossa.
