Description
Relish a triple Gold, long-time favourite Shiraz from the dynamic Zonte's Footstep team and vineyards in great value Langhorne Creek.
Still very much an insider's top-tip region for quality and value, Langhorne Creek is a region with plenty of sun but with an Antarctic breeze rising from up and over the Great Southern Ocean and Lake Alexandrina that cools the vineyards. This breeze is the Lake Doctor. It adds freshness to the fruit – and in particular to the rich Shiraz used in this perennially popular drop. "…this region continues to produce delicious, ripe, rich reds, full of flavour. And they are so often such wonderful value. Add another to the list. Purple colour with a vibrant rim. We have notes of chocolate, bacon fat, flesh, cloves, warm earth, dry herbs and black fruits. Good concentration and focus, fine acidity with nice balance is backed by ever-so-soft tannins though to a finish which lingers 93pts" (Ken Gargett, Wine Pilot).
