Footprint Rose
Dry South African rose, stocked in small lots in Commack.
The story behind Footprint
Rose made from Pinotage and Cabernet is a South African specialty. Picking these red grapes early and pressing them off the skins quickly keeps color pale and acidity bright, so the wine drinks dry and fresh rather than sweet. Expect red berry and watermelon notes with a clean, slightly savory finish.
We keep Footprint in very small quantity at our Commack store, usually a bottle or two at a time, so call ahead if you want to confirm what is on the shelf.

Both bottles sit under ten dollars, which is honest value for a small producer pouring dry pink wine. The Pinotage Rose is $8.99 and the Cabernet is $9.98. We stock one or two of each at a time, so call the store at (631) 343-7200 before you drive over and we will tell you what is on the shelf.
Chill it and pour with grilled chicken or sausages on a Tuesday.
