Our Name and Wines
Piet Dreyer was a fisherman all his life. As a child, when he was about 16 years old, his father was seriously injured in a motorcycle crash and he helped his mother to support the family by catching fish over weekends and after school on a friend’s fishing boat. The sea and fishing remained his passion and he grew from ski-boat owner to freezer-vessel owner and the "kaalvoet (barefoot) skipper" on his vessel Raka became well known amongst the squid fisherman.

By sourcing its grapes from the best vineyards in different regions of South Africa's Cape Winelands, Leopard's Leap is able to produce a wide selection of wines of exceptional quality, for both the local and international markets - superb easy-drinking wines that offer affordable enjoyment for any occasion.
