Zonte’s Footstep Age of Enlightenment Shiraz 2020

Shiraz from McLaren Vale which spent a year and a half maturing in a mix of new and older French oak puncheons, this is a star. A dark red/maroon hue here, this is big, rich and bold. Full of flavour with aromas of chocolate, mocha, licorice, tobacco leaves, dry herbs, cassis and smoked meats, the wine is seamless with abundant, sleek tannins. It has excellent length and maintains the intensity for the full journey. An absolutely cracking wine for enjoying over the next decade.
