Description What's with the name? 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 our first wine. As a tribute to the journey of the grapes in the vineyard (and because you aren't legally allowed to mention a grape variety unless it's contained in the wine) it was decided to change the “A” to an “O” – ZONTE’S – sufficiently similar. Zonte's Footstep was set up in 1999.
