Leopards Leap Cabernet Sauvignon / Merlot 2021

Upfront aromas of vibrant red fruit and notes of spices, supported by subtle oak nuances of mocha and cinnamon. The wine boasts a well-defined round and elegant structure and lush red berries, ensuring intriguing and juicy tannins. It reveals the best of both varieties in the blend and finishes in a soft, lingering after-taste.

Serve with flavourful meat dishes such as lamb accompanied by a sweet mint sauce, as well as Cape Malay curries and bobotie. Slow-cooked beef pot roast is an ideal partner to this blend.
