Zonte's Footstep 2010 Doctoressa di Lago Single Site Pinot Grigio (Fleurieu Peninsula)
- Best Buy
- $15
Nicely rounded in texture without being flabby, this is a lively, crisp white wine, well endowed with flavors reminiscent of melon, pear and lime. Perfect to drink now with most seafood dishes, or as an apéritif.

Zonte's Footstep 2008 Lake Doctor Single Site Shiraz (Langhorne Creek)
- $16
Much of the region’s fruit goes into regional blends, but this wine shows the voluptuous midpalate that characterizes so much of Langhorne Creek’s fruit. Vanilla and berries predominate, accented by savory mocha, leather and briar shadings, and turning just a little warm on the finish. Drink now–2015 or so.

Zonte's Footstep 2009 The Love Symbol Single Site Savignin Blanc Savagnin (Langhorne Creek)
- $15
Picked relatively early—the finished alcohol level is only 11%—this is suprisingly soft and round while remaining light in body: It’s a charming sylph. The only quibble is that the lime-like flavors fade relatively quickly on the finish.

Zonte's Footstep 2009 Sea Mist Single Site Verdelho (Langhorne Creek)
- $15
Smooth, easy-drinking and lushly textured, this Verdelho features peach and grapefruit notes that stay refreshingly clean and crisp on the finish. It should work well as an apéritif or with many fish dishes.

Zonte's Footstep 2010 Scarlet Ladybird Single Site Rosé
- Online Exclusive
- $15
Closer in style to a light red wine than a traditional dry rosé, this is dark pink—nearly pomegranate—in color, and boasts hints of leather, berries, dried herbs and white chocolate. Textured and round in the mouth, the only quibble is its relatively quick fade on the finish. Drink now.

Zonte's Footstep 2007 Shiraz-Viognier (Langhorne Creek)
- $15
Packs a punch, delivering plenty of weight and intensity. The blend includes 6% Viognier, but its no apricot-laden Shiraz-Viognier, instead offering up slightly peppery, meaty, plummy notes and a rich mix of spicy-savory dark fruit.

Zonte's Footstep 2010 The Love Symbol Single Site Savignin Blanc Savagnin (Langhorne Creek)
- Online Exclusive
- $15
Once thought to be Albariño, this grape variety is actually native to France’s Jura. In this example from South Australia, it’s a lean, crisp white, with hints of pencil shavings that accent its grapefruity flavors. It’s pretty, harmonious and a good all-around white for drinking over the next 6–9 months.

Zonte's Footstep 2009 Single Site Verdelho (Langhorne Creek)
- $15
This medium-bodied white features attractive scents of lime zest and pineapple. On the palate, the flavors veer toward apple and citrus, which fade rapidly on the finish. Drink now.
