Zonte’s Footstep Super Trooper Shiraz/Cabernet 2022

Brings together two varieties that are relaxed and comfortable in each other’s company. It’s from the Fleurieu Peninsula and displays aromas of cherry, subtle bay leaf and a little fresh mint. The palate retains its firm thread with fine tannins and lightly applied oak sitting perfectly. Has a delightfully friendly mouth feel with the structure and weight to suit a range of meat or pasta dishes. Drink by: 2025-2032. Score – 92. (Ray Jordan, winepilot.com, March 2025)
