Leopards Leap Cabernet Sauvignon bewitches the nose with intense aromas of red cherries, black mulberries, ripe blackberries, cinnamon and fine nutmeg spice. This Cabernet Sauvignon, matured in the barrel, represents the best of the old and new world. Nuances of ripe blackcurrants caress the palate and form a wine of good structure and elegance with a long lasting finish.
The Cape Leopard Trust
A small population of Cape leopards lives in the mountains of the Cape Winelands. This species grows only about half the size of its northern relatives and is highly endangered. The Cape Leopard Trust, with significant financial support from Leopard's Leap Wines, is working to protect these magnificent animals and their natural habitat.

Treatment in the cellar
Die Trauben für den Leopard's Leap Cabernet Sauvignon stammen aus Südafrikas Perdeberg und Swartland Region. Die Fermentation findet bei einer kontrollierten Temperatur von 28 bis 30C° statt mit regelmäßigem Umwälzen und "Punch Downs". Anschlieβend reifte der Wein 12 Monate lang zu 30% in zweitbefüllten Fässern aus französischer Eiche und der Rest für die gleiche Dauer auf Eichenstaven.
