Zonte’s Footsteps Apple Betty Chardonnay 2024

The name of this wine is linked to that rich and comforting dish, apple betty, which is also apparently known as cobbler or crumble. The fresh apple notes found in the wine provide the connection. The fruit is sourced from the Adelaide Hills. The colour is a pineapple yellow. We have notes of toasty oak along with stone fruits, melons, peaches and a touch of grapefruit. Yes, hints of apple as well. The wine has energy, direction, balance, focus and very good length. There is a line of juicy acidity running the full journey. A well-crafted and attractive Chardonnay which will provide pleasure for at least the next six to eight years.
