Footprint Sauvignon Blanc 2019 75cl
★★★★★ 5.0 (1 review)Pour this cold and the first sip basically slaps you awake. Footprint Sauvignon Blanc is all green apple, a squeeze of citrus and that zingy fresh-cut-grass thing that good Sauvignon does, with acidity bright enough to cut through anything fried or grilled. It's bone dry, never sweet, and it goes down dangerously easy on a warm Nairobi evening. Grab it for a quiet sundowner or to keep the table happy over a long dinner.
Stick your nose in and you get green apple, a little gooseberry and a hit of passion fruit, with a grassy, nettle-y edge that says proper Sauvignon Blanc. The sip is fresh and lively, light-to-medium weight, citrus running right through it. Acidity does the heavy lifting here, so it tastes clean and zesty rather than soft. Finish is dry and tidy, leaving you ready for the next mouthful.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This comes from African Pride Wines in South Africa's Western Cape, a crew set up in 2002 to make honest, characterful wine that's proudly Cape in style. The Footprint range is their playful, exploratory side, the idea being that to leave a footprint you've got to go find unique grapes and great patches of land. It's overseen by Mike Graham, a veteran winemaker with 30-plus harvests behind him, made with a light touch in the cellar so the fruit does the talking.
