Leopard's Leap
Leopard's Leap was conceptualised at the turn of the century by winemaker and businessman Hein Koegelenberg. With an initial international focus, the brand’s exceptional performance in the global market today sees it represented in more than 40 countries with dedicated marketing teams and distribution across Asia, the UK, Europe, North America and Africa. While consumers worldwide enjoy Leopard's Leap wines as an outstanding example of South African quality, it is at its Franschhoek home where guests are introduced to the accessible and versatile wine portfolio and the ways in which Leopard's Leap wines can be enjoyed as part of an everyday quality lifestyle.
Description
Nose: Deep ruby-red in colour with vibrant violet hues, this Cabernet Sauvignon shows remarkable depth and clarity. The nose is expressive and inviting, layered with aromas of blackcurrant, raspberry and prominent blueberry notes, beautifully complemented by subtle hints of cigar box, spice and a gentle earthy character reflective of the Swartland terroir. Palate: The palate is rich and medium-bodied, revealing luscious plum and blueberry flavours that carry seamlessly from the bouquet. Well-structured with beautifully ripe, integrated tannins, the wine delivers balance, elegance and length. Nuances of soft spice and cedar oak add complexity, while the lingering finish leaves a lasting impression of fruit and finesse.
Food Pairing
Enjoy with hearty red meat dishes such as beef bourguignon, oxtail or fillet mignon with a balsamic glaze. Also pairs beautifully with fruitcake and desserts featuring warm spice notes of cinnamon and clove.
