Footprint Cabernet Sauvignon 75cl. 2021
Pour this and you get a big, dark, confident red that knows exactly what it's doing. Footprint Cabernet Sauvignon is deep ruby, loaded with ripe blackcurrant and dark berry, with a whisper of cedar and oak spice and tannins that grip just enough to keep things interesting. It's dry, it's full, and at 14% it carries some swagger. Basically: the bottle you open when there's a fire going and meat on it. Want it tonight? We'll have it at your door fast, whatever the hour.
Stick your nose in and it's blackcurrant first, then blueberry and red cherry, with a little cedar and tobacco-leaf smokiness curling underneath. On the palate it's medium to full, the dark fruit rolls through, and those ripe tannins give it real structure without drying your mouth out. There's a fresh streak of acidity keeping it lively, and the finish hangs around with a bit of spice. Smooth but with backbone. The kind of red that actually tastes like something.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This one comes from South Africa's Western Cape, made by African Pride Wines with grapes out of the Breedekloof and Paarl vineyards. The name's the fun part: Footprint is about the restless urge to explore and leave your mark on the world. On the winemaking side they're a bit clever too, fermenting in stainless steel with a 'rack and return' system, giving it extended skin contact for colour and grip, then ageing a portion on French oak staves for that gentle cedar-spice lift.
