Information about "Leeu Passant Cinsault Wellington 2023"
The Leeu Passant Cinsault Wellington enchants with its brilliant color, offering aromas of dark raspberries and ripe cherries, complemented by notes of thyme and a hint of pomegranate. The palate reveals fine, silky tannins and an impressively long, fulfilling finish.
'Leeu Passant', meaning 'passing lion', is a term from heraldry representing strength and elegance, featured on the capsule. Chris and Andrea Mullineux discover the finest grape plots for these wines, crafted at the Leeu Passant base on Leeu Estates. This outstanding Cinsault is sourced from the oldest registered red wine vineyard in the country.
Die Trauben wurden am frühen Morgen von Hand geerntet und zum Keller transporrtiert wo die ganzen Trauben spontan vergoren wurden - drei Wochen auf der Maische wonach der Wein 20 Monate lang in 500-Liter-Fässern aus französischer Eiche reifte.
