Zonte's FootstepDawn Patrol Pinot Noir Adelaide Hills 2017
About this product
We believe the crack of dawn is the perfect timing to capture the flavours we desire in this expressive variety. Sarsaparilla Root, Cinnamon and Red Cherries. Seasoned in French oak barriques and bottled without fining so that the true texture of the vineyard shines through.

Herbal aromas and flavours of alpine menthol mint, spicy blueberry chutney, and sarsaparilla with a silky, bright, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a smooth, complex, medium- long finish imparting notes of honey roasted beets and nuts and chai. A complex and herbal pinot noir with enticing strokes of flavour nuances in a balanced approachable frame."

"Pale light garnet colour. Aromas and flavours of dried mulberry, eucalyptus, matcha, jasmine tea, ivory, and Italian hand soap with a satiny, crisp, dry-yet-fruity medium body and an interesting, medium-to-long molasses switches and blackberry leaf finish. An unmistakably Australian pinot noir that rustles the hedge grove." - Halliday Wine Companion 2020

"A spicy/savoury pinot, part derived from completion of the primary ferment in barrel. Well made, the palate with attractive savoury/earthy/spicy flavours running through to a long finish." - Halliday Wine Companion 2019
