Bay of Shoals Wines Savagnin
Floral aromatics with overtones of white peach, leading to a fuller luscious palate of nectarine and apricot, finishing with a lively crisp lemon acidity.
Zonte's Footstep Blackberry Patch Fleurieu Cabernet
Cassis, dark plum and obviously Blackberry fruits aligning with enveloping, refined-yet-generous Cigar Box tannins. This is accented with perfumed cedary notes derived from the oak our wine is matured in. The result; a wine with elegance and poise. The fruit for Blackberry Patch comes from one block in the heart of the Langhorne Creek and another in the Blewitt Springs sub-region of the McLaren Vale. Primary fermentation takes place in a combination of stainless steel vats and 5 tonne open fermenters after which the wine is assembled into tank and allowed to complete a natural malo-lactic fermentation before being pressed off. It is then transferred to new & well-seasoned hogsheads and aged for up to12 months prior to bottling with minimal filtration. This results in a wine with purity of fruit that is regal and eminently satisfying to allow for regular indulgence. Zontes Footstep is a proudly independent Australian wine producer established in 2003. Their grapes are sourced from their own, as well as their neighbours' vineyards, from regions that produce the desired expressive, varietal characteristics of the grapes grounded by the soil they are planted in. Located in the McLaren Vale, Langhorne Creek, Adelaide Hills, the Barossa and further afield. The name comes from a mixture of things. In 1893 a vineyard was planted with Zante currant to produce table grapes for the growing population of Adelaide. In the 1920s the vineyard was replanted with wine producing varieties of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon which were eventually used to make the first Zonte's wine. As a tribute to the journey of the grapes in the vineyard (and because you arent legally allowed to mention a grape variety unless its contained in the wine) it was decided to change the A to an O ZONTES sufficiently similar. Then in1999, the vineyard was purchased and a plan to plant Viognier, Sangiovese and other new and exciting grape varieties was undertaken. Whilst replanting the vineyard some large boulders with footprints were discovered from the largest known marsupial to have ever lived, the Diprotodon. It was this unique fossilised FOOTSTEP that cemented the name and the journey of Zonte's Footstep was begun. Their aim is the diligent pursuit of producing wines that reflect a sense of place, style and purpose.
Primo Bianco Mesa Primo Bianco Mesa Vermentino Di Sardegna Doc
Produced in a truly Mediterranean climate on the south west corner of the beautiful island of Sardinia. From the esteemed house of Santa Margherita comes a Vermentino of quality, vibrancy and intensity, singing of fruit blossom and a salad bowl of orchard fruit. A mediterranean herbal note, a touch of minerality and a refreshing hint of salinity add great complexity and refreshment. Finishing crisply, this would play an excellent supporting role to your next seafood meal.
Vermentino
Escape Room Vermentino
On the nose, ginger and chamomile and lashings of lemon tea with a hint of smoky whisky. A generous and textural palate of grilled stone fruits and grapefruit pith with a salivating, saline finish. Savoury, complex and mineral yet perfectly balanced. The Vermentino grapes are wild fermented on skins and we lightly plunge the cap a couple of times a day. After 7 days, the skins are basket pressed and the wine is matured on yeast lees for 12 months; six months in seasoned french oak followed by six months in stainless steel. When we bottle, its unfiltered, with just a squirt of sulphur, to keep it fresh.

Zonte's Footstep Splitting Hares Fleurieu Tempranillo Grenache
Making this wine came down to splitting hairs as we tweaked the blend in tiny 1% increments until the perfect balance was achieved. This is the exact point at which the juicy, fragrant Grenache just tames the savoury chewiness of the Tempranillo. The result is a cheeky mezcla of red and blue fruit: raspberry, blueberry, plum and red cherry flavours with floral whirls of jasmine and lavender followed by secondary notes of pomegranate molasses, crushed gravel, and delicious dry Dutch-cocoa tann
