Zonte's Footstep Excalibur Sauvignon Blanc
Tasting Notes:
(This is how late chairman Evans OBE made us all do it.
Vale Len. Vintage 1930; Decanted 2006.)
Colour: Pale straw with vivid green hue.
Nose: Lifted citrus/pineapple notes with gentle citrus
blossom highlights.
Entry: A rush of lemon/lime/white grapefruit peel crispness.
Middle Palate: Refreshing, tart gooseberry and lemon curd
with sublte minerality.
After Palate: A tangy, mouth-watering finish and trademark
Sauvignon Blanc acidity.
Finish: Flavoursome and fine with crisp lines of cleansing
acid.
In Summary: Excalibur Sauvignon Blanc is an exciting,
fresh, food-friendly white wine. 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!
