Footprint Wines (South Africa) | |||
The name symbolizes the drive to lead and explore, rather than follow. The brand combines the unique attributes of some of the best South African appellations in a range of wines, each variety with an area-specific footprint - and showing the personal imprint of winemaker Mike Graham, who journeyed through the Cape vineyards in search of grapes with the character he sought for Footprint wines. The single-varietal wines are stylish, contemporary, and focus on varietal character. The range comprises of Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Shiraz, and Cabernet Sauvignon. The Grapes for each of the varietals are from site-specific vineyards in the prime wine-growing areas of Stellenbosch, Swartland and Worcester. Selected vineyards are nurtured to optimum ripeness and the grapes from each vineyard are handled separately in the cellar. Winemaker Mike Graham uses a combination of modern and classical methods to ensure that the wine expresses both varietal and area-specific character. The subtle use of oak adds complexity and style to the wines without masking the varietal fruit. Sauvignon Blanc 2004
