Pinotage

A versatile, sociable wine best enjoyed with friends and family. Pair with braai favourites, burgers or pizza, or simply sip alongside hearty home-cooked meals and good company.

Grapes originate from the Coastal regions's underlaying areas of Swartland and Paarl, both ideal for growing Pinotage.

Matured on 100% Oak staves for 6 to 8 months with added micro-oxygenation. 70% of the oak staves were made from French oak, 20% from American & 10% from Hungarian.

Picked at optimal ripeness, the grapes were sorted, destemmed, crushed and fermented. Fermentation was at between 22°C & 24°C. Regular pump-overs and punch-downs were done for optimal colour and flavour extraction.

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.
