Zonte’s Footsteps Scarlett Ladybird Rosé 2025

Curiously, the team don’t reveal the variety or varieties involved in this fine Rosé. It is named in honour of the ladybirds who prey on many of the tiny creatures which afflict vines and fruit. Love the label. The colour is that of a burnt orange sunset. This is a Rosé with oomph. There is good freshness here in this wine of medium weight, with a fine line of acidity. A gentle lingering finish but overall, quite a bright and refreshing wine. The nose has hints of strawberries and other red berries, animal flesh, florals and even a touch of earthiness. A serious Rosé for enjoying over the next two to four years.
