Wine Description
This jewel (or should we say Julie) was found in the picturesque Adelaide Hills, truly alive. Adelaide Hills Shiraz with elegance, finesse and prettiness; let’s say our Fair Lady is as magical as The Sound of Music.
“Lively Red Cherries with spiced plums and Liquorice;
Silky soft tannins with dusts of White Pepper;
perfumed and pretty with hints of rose petals;
these are a few of our favourite things.”
– Maria von Trapp (with artistic license)

"It's delightfully styled and elegantly expressed, showing sweet plum, dark cherry, toasted almond and floral characters on the nose with a hint of pepper spice. The palate displays juicy fruit flavours and flowing mouthfeel, well supported by fine texture and supple tannins. At its best: now to 2028"
93 Points - Natalie MacLean
"Zonte's Footstep, Hills Are Alive 2018 Shiraz is a vegan-friendly, opulent and juicy Shiraz from cool-climate Adelaide Hill's, South Australia. Intense and spicy on the palate with rose petal, ripe plum, dark cherry, violets finishing zesty, smooth and long with pepper and cedar spice notes. Tannins are supple."
