Leopards Leap Pardus 2023

A sophisticated and elegant wine with great balance between the fruitiness, oak, and spices. It lingers with an elevated finish of fine and ripe tannins, making it a well-structured, elegant, and balanced wine.

A great paring for hearty tomato or oxtail based stews, lambs bredie, mild & sweet spicey dishes such as Cape Malay Curry or Bobotie. It is also an impeccable pairing with matured hard cheese.
