Product Description

Description

Pale straw colour with vivid green hue. On the nose, lifted citrus and pineapple notes with gentle citrus blossom highlights. Refreshing palate, tart gooseberry and lemon curd with subtle minerality. Tangy, mouth-watering finish and trademark Sauvignon Blanc acidity. Flavoursome and fine finish with crisp line of cleansing acidity. Although a great food wine, especially seafood, at Zonte's Footstep, we drink most of the Excalibur well-chilled, on a sunny afternoon with friends and family... usually followed by a second glass! Vintage in image may vary. Refer to wine facts for current vintage.

How to pair it

  • Cheese We imagine drinking this wine with hard local chesses the cheese is optional.

Vegan Wine

Though made entirely the same way as all wines, vegan wines are wines in which during the winemaking step of "fining" that is needed to filter the wine, no animal-based products are used. The most common fining agents used by the wine industry are egg whites and milk protein. Vegan wines instead use alternatives such as clay or plant-based fining agents.

Vineyard Info

Zonte's Footstep is a proud, independent Australian wine producer. We take our vineyards and our wine, but not ourselves too seriously... Our grapes are sourced from our own, as well as our mate's, vineyards, from regions that produce expressive, varietal characteristics for the grapes being grown. Located in the McLaren Vale, Langhorne Creek, Adelaide Hills, Barossa and further afield. Hence the simple, but diligent pursuit of producing wines that reflect a sense of place, style and purpose. We have always aimed to produce wines with personality and expression... That's why we gave them names. Now these wines have evolved to have a face of their own!

The grapes used for ZONTE'S FOOTSTEP "Excalibur" are sourced hand tended blocks in the Woodside sub-region of the Adelaide Hills. Our shining sword rising from the water' moment wasn't quite of Arthurian legend, but by a misty dam early one morning, the first rapier-like cut of this Sauvignon Blanc inspired our Excalibur.
