Zonte’s Footstep Scarlet Ladybird Rosé 2021

The 70% Grenache and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon for this wine were fermented in stainless steel, assuring that the purity of the McLaren Vale and Langhorne Creek fruit shines through. It’s a lush, mouthfilling wine, with zesty acidity, floral aromatics and cherry, strawberry, orange and spice flavours. Drink now to 2023.
