The concentrated palate has a lovely silky texture, showing chocolate and cassis flavours and a wonderfully long finish.

Winner of 'Best Value Australian Shiraz' and 'Best Dinner Party Red Wine' at the World Wine Championships, the multi-Gold-medal Lake Doctor Langhorne Creek Shiraz shows why Zonte's Footstep wines are "out of this world!" (Matthew Jukes). Australian red lovers know that Langhorne Creek provides incredible flavour – it was the ‘secret’ weapon in many of Wolf Blass’s famous Trophy-winning reds. And here you have it in pure form. The fruit comes from a single Shiraz block in the heart of Langhorne Creek – the Lake Doctor Vineyard on the shores of Lake Alexandrina. On hot summer afternoons the cooling breeze of the ‘Lake Doctor’ arrives and revives vines and vignerons alike.

Welcome to tiny Lake Breeze, officially named Australia’s Champion Small Winery, Producer of the Year, and winner of 37 TROPHIES and 134 GOLD MEDALS since 1994, loved by customers and critics alike. “Greg Follett weaves a little magic every time...” (The Adelaide Advertiser). “The quality of the Lake Breeze wines is exemplary, with the red wines particularly appealing ...” (James Halliday). “Like Greg Follett, the Lake Breeze wines are unassuming but quietly impressive. Never doubt the value they represent...” (Peter Forrestal, Gourmet Traveller Wine). Dive in to the deep, dark flavours of this classically rich and velvety full-flavoured Shiraz rarity, created using a combination of old vine fruit and careful winemaking.

Bernoota was the original name of the Lake Breeze homestead and now the Bernoota Shiraz Cabernet is rightfully considered to be one of Australia's favourite Shiraz Cabernet blends. And they don't come much better than Bernoota for the price! Not only is it rich and luscious, filled with blackcurrant, spice and pepper, it has a touch of dark chocolate on the finish. The 2009 is a 60% Shiraz and 40% Cabernet blend and spends 20 months in a mixture of French and American Oak that will see the wine not only be enjoyable now, but develop beautifully in the bottle for a further 8 to 10 years.
