Leopards Leap Culinaria Collection Muscat de Frontignan 2015

The wine boasts an elegant pale coral pink colour. A delicate flavour of dried apricots and marmalade entices on the nose, complemented by hints of lemon zest and peach. The palate impresses with perceived lightness, without being syrupy or cloying. Impeccable balance makes this wine versatile and approachable, with a long-lingering after-taste, characterised by nuances of grapefruit.

AWARDS

The Leopard’s Leap Culinaria Collection is a celebration of the harmony in which food and wine complement one another. Matching the finest in food with the finest in wine is the very reason behind this exquisite collection - to create optimal enjoyment through mutual enhancement.

in the vineyard : Origin: Leopard's Leap Culinaria Muscat de Frontignan is a Wine of Origin Western Cape - the largest percentage of grapes originates from the Robertson area, specifically Bonnievale.

Terroir: The Robertson district has, for decades, been celebrated as a fortified dessert wines heaven. Vineyards are influenced by the continental climate, which is ideal for grape varieties that benefit from a hot growing season. Dominant soil types are the soft calcareous Brandvlei and Augrabies soils, which induce moderate vigour and yields. The chalkiness of the soils brings about a distinctive crispness.

about the harvest: Grapes were hand harvested at 25 degrees Balling.

in the cellar : The grapes were cooled, de-stemmed and crushed, with 6 hours skin contact. Gently pressed only free-run juice used. Settled, fermented in stainless steel tanks. Fermentation took place at 14 degrees Celsius and was stopped at 10 degrees Balling. Three months bottle maturation prior to release.
