Footprint Chenin Blanc Semillon 75cl
Pour this cold and you get a glassful of sunshine. Think guava, ripe peach and a squeeze of citrus, all light and juicy with a clean dry finish that keeps you coming back. It's the white you grab when the evening's warm, the playlist is good, and you want something that just works without any fuss. Two grapes doing teamwork: Chenin brings the bright fruit, Semillon rounds it out so nothing feels sharp.
First sniff and it's all guava, pear and fresh citrus, the kind of fruit that makes your mouth water before you've even sipped. On the palate you get juicy peach and apricot with a little tangy pineapple lift, then it dries out clean on the way down. The Chenin Blanc (55%) hands you all that bright tropical fruit, and the Semillon (45%) smooths the edges so the texture feels soft and rounded rather than zingy and sharp. Light to medium in weight, properly dry, no sugar hangover.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This comes from African Pride Wines in South Africa's Western Cape, the outfit behind the Footprint range that now sells in more than 30 countries. The grapes are pulled from proper Cape wine country, places like Stellenbosch, Wellington, Worcester and Paarl, and the wines are overseen by veteran winemaker Mike Graham, one of the original "flying winemakers" with 40-plus harvests behind him. The whole idea behind Footprint is simple: leave your mark, go explore, and put a genuine taste of South Africa in the glass without charging a fortune for it.
