Zonte's FootstepChocolate Factory McLaren Vale Shiraz
About this product
The fruit for the Chocolate Factory is sourced from hand tended blocks in the Blewitt Springs sub-region of McLaren Vale. Primary fermentation takes place in a combination of stainless steel vats and 5 tonne open fermenters after which the wine is assembled into tank and allowed to complete a natural malo-lactic fermentation before being pressed off. It is then transferred to new and well-seasoned hogsheads and aged for up to 12 months prior to bottling with minimal filtration.

Semi-dry wines are perceptibly sweet but leaning towards dry.
