Zonte's Footstep's Super Trooper from Fleurieu, South Australia is a vibrant, medium-bodied red wine blending Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon with notes of dark plum, iris, black pepper and charred oak. This dry, vegan-friendly wine displays supple tannins and bright acidity that make it immediately approachable. Serve it at room temperature with barbecue beef short ribs as the wine's smoky character complements the caramelized glaze, or pair it with aged cheddar and onion tart where the wine's fruit richness balances the sharp cheese. Winemaker Ben Riggs sources fruit from two exceptional South Australian regions: McLaren Vale for its bold Shiraz and Langhorne Creek for structured Cabernet Sauvignon, creating a blend that showcases the best of both terroirs. The winery's playful name honors Zonte, the family's energetic dog who was always the first to race ahead on vineyard walks, embodying the adventurous spirit behind these approachable wines. This Super Trooper delivers outstanding quality at a remarkable price and will drink beautifully through 2032.

Shiraz food pairings: beef stews, cheesy pizza, burgers, ribs.
