Leopard’s Leap has consistently been a beacon of innovation and craftsmanship in South African winemaking. This Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot blend, in particular, is the epitome of their pursuit of perfection, melding two giants of the grape world into a bottle brimming with character.
A Union Like No Other: Nestled in the lush valleys of the Western Cape, the grapes that go into this wine are exposed to a unique blend of sun, wind, and soil. The Cabernet Sauvignon brings its full-bodied richness, complemented by the softer, fruitier notes of Merlot.
Tasting Notes: Boasting a deep ruby hue, the wine exudes an inviting aroma of dark berries, plums, and a hint of oak. Upon tasting, the full-bodied nature of the Cabernet Sauvignon shines, with its strong tannins and flavours of blackcurrant. This is harmoniously balanced by the juicy plum and red fruit characteristics of the Merlot. Together, they culminate in a long, satisfying finish that leaves one yearning for another sip.
Pairings & Complements: This wine pairs exceptionally well with hearty dishes. Think red meat, especially a juicy steak, or even spicy Italian pizza. Explore more pairing recommendations on our Oaks & Corks suggestions page.
