Reviews and Ratings

Wineboy rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

lighter rose with bright fruit from some crisp dryness. Nice flavours, nice aromas. Nice wine
This Australian rosé from the Fleurieu Peninsula in South Australia is full-bodied with lots of racy acidity. The Cabernet Sauvignon and Grenache wine grapes for Zonte's Footstep, Scarlet Ladybird (2016) were sourced from a single site vineyard. The Scarlet Ladybird refers to the Ladybugs that prey on vineyard pests like aphids. Raspberry aromas and lots of spice are found on the palate. Pair with cold cuts. - Community Wine Reviews
