The Cape Leopard Trust
A small population of Cape leopards survives in the Cape Winelands, significantly smaller than their northern cousins and critically endangered. The Cape Leopard Trust, significantly supported by Leopard’s Leap Wines, strives to protect these stunning animals and their natural habitat.
The handpicked grapes were destemmed and crushed separately, fermented under controlled temperatures in stainless steel tanks. After fermentation, the tank was infused with oak staves, completing malolactic fermentation. The wines were blended and matured for six to eight months in steel tanks with staves in use. 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot.
