Zonte's Footstep is a proudly independent Australian wine company. We take our vineyards and our wine, but not ourselves, seriously. In 2003 we pooled old white utes and new-ish tractors to grow the best grapes from the best vineyards and the wines are now at the vanguard of a revolution of Australian wine styles.
Zonte's Footstep is named after a 19th century Zante currant vineyard, as new plantings follow the original footstep. The currant business dried up, but Zonte's Footstep became our blueprint...
All we want to do is taste our fruit in our wine, so we charged our reigning winemaker, Mr. Ben Riggs, with one goal; to make the best wines we can, true to vineyard and variety, so long as we make a bloody good drink!
"The truth is out there in the vineyard... but the proof is in the bottle”
Zonte's Footstep 'Violet Beauregard' Malbec 2022
The Zonte’s Footstep Violet Beauregard Vineyard is on the shores of Lake Alexandrina where, each summer afternoon the house-cooling breeze of our ‘Lake Doctor’ arrives and revives vines and vignerons alike. We have released a straight varietal Malbec since 2008, this being the sixth consecutive vintage.
Sensual and structured this is our ideal Malbec, the only problem being how we can keep some long enough to watch it evolve in bottle.
