Zonte’s Footstep Lake Doctor Shiraz 2022 by Zonte’s Footstep from South Australia opens with deep aromas of blackberry, mulberry and baking spice, lifted by hints of dark chocolate and a touch of vanilla. The palate is plush and concentrated, delivering ripe black fruits, soft spice and a smooth savoury line that keeps everything balanced and moreish. This Zonte’s Footstep Lake Doctor Shiraz 2022 shows impressive generosity while retaining a clean, polished finish that makes it incredibly drinkable.

It pairs beautifully with barbecued lamb, slow roasted pork shoulder or a rich mushroom and thyme pie, where the wine’s depth and velvety texture shine. A bold yet approachable shiraz that overdelivers on flavour and value.
