Leopards Leap Pinotage 2019

This intensely coloured wine offers vibrant flavours of red berries that follow through in layers of juicy raspberry and subtle vanilla, gently supported by oak. A pleasantly lingering after-taste.

A versatile, sociable wine, for enjoyment at any occasion - with friends and family during a braai, a burger or pizza night, leisurely sipping while watching movies at home. Or simply to celebrate a successful day.
