Zonte’s Footstep is a proudly independent Australian wine producer known for crafting expressive, character-driven wines with a sense of fun and authenticity. Established in 2003, the winery draws on heritage vineyards dating back to 1890 in Langhorne Creek, while also sourcing fruit from premium sites across McLaren Vale, the Barossa Valley, Adelaide Hills, and beyond.

The name itself is a nod to both history and discovery: “Zonte” references the original Zante currant vines planted on the estate, while “Footstep” was inspired by fossilized Diprotodon footprints found on the property—symbolizing a journey through time and terroir.

Zonte’s Footstep embraces a philosophy of making wines that are serious about quality but never take themselves too seriously. Their portfolio includes bold reds like Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Sangiovese, as well as vibrant whites such as Viognier and Sauvignon Blanc. Standout labels like Chocolate Factory Shiraz and Z Force have earned international acclaim for their richness, balance, and drinkability.
