Zonte’s Footstep Lake Doctor Langhorne Creek Shiraz 2022

Named after the house-cooling breeze of our ‘Lake Doctor’ which arrives from the Great Southern Ocean direct from Antarctica and revives vines and vignerons alike in the peak of summer.

Not just about the fruit, it’s earthy too and what we have always loved about Langhorne Creek is it produces cracker wines – consistently.

The fruit for the Lake Doctor comes from a single block in the heart of the

Langhorne Creek. Primary fermentation takes place in a combination of stainless steel vats and 5 tonne open fermenters after which the wine is assembled into tank and allowed to complete a natural malo-lactic fermentation before being pressed off. It is then transferred to new & seasoned hogsheads, puncheons and aged for up to 12 months prior to bottling. This results in a wine with purity of fruit that is unpretentious and eminently satisfying to allow for regular indulgence.
