Zonte's Footstep
Zonte's Footstep operates in Langhorne Creek, a subregion of Fleurieu in South Australia known for structured, full-bodied reds. The winery focuses on Shiraz, the region's signature variety, which thrives in the cool maritime climate and produces wines of depth and complexity. Baron Von Nemesis Shiraz stands as the flagship expression, joined by a Shiraz-Viognier blend that introduces aromatic white pepper and floral notes alongside dark fruit. Z-Force Red rounds out the core range, a pure Shiraz offering. These wines have been assessed by Wine Enthusiast, Wine Spectator, Wine Advocate, and Falstaff, reflecting their presence in the prestige critic landscape. Langhorne Creek's gravelly soils and diurnal temperature swings create conditions for ripe yet balanced fruit, and Zonte's Footstep's portfolio demonstrates the region's capacity for Shiraz of substance and aging potential.
