A complex and layered nose of blackcurrants, plums, red cherries, rosemary and pine cone. Medium- to full-bodied with fine velvety tannins. Full of character with sturdy red and black fruit with rather elegant subtlety. Slightly floral with some savory herbs. A historic blend of cinsault and cabernet sauvignon. Best after 2024. ...

Composed of a blend of 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Cabernet Franc and 14% Cinsault, the 2019 Leeu Passant Dry Red Wine is delicate, ripe and fresh with hints of sweet red and black fruit tones that sway with seductive floral essences and soft oak spice. Medium-bodied, the fruit is juicy and fresh, offering succulent acidity with fine-grained tannins. The wine continues to grow in complexity over the delightfully lingering and balanced finish with lovely spice notions. Bravo, this is delicious juice! Almost 7,000 bottles produced.

The 2019 Dry Red is a heritage blend of bush vine Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Cinsault (the latter used to be planted on the fringe of the Cabernet parcels). This has an attractive nose with brambly red fruit, dried earth, tobacco and rose petal scents. The palate is medium-bodied with fine definition and a little more cohesion than previous vintages with a harmonious, tobacco and white pepper infused finish. Very fine.

Country: South Africa

Situated on the very tip of the African continent, South Africa has proved itself over three centuries to be an ideal location for producing a wide range of wines. Benefiting from something not dissimilar to a Mediterranean climate, with long, hot summers complemented by both Atlantic and Indian Ocean winds, the grapes which grow on the valleys, mountainsides and plains of this fascinating country can ripen to their fullest capacity, producing wines packed full of fruity flavors and an array of interesting and enticing aromas. As a former colony, South Africa has long since been home to a range of different nationalities, who each brought something of their wine culture with them. As such, many European grape varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Riesling and others have been given time to flourish in South Africa, allowing the country to develop a diverse group of wine types which are proving increasingly popular around the world.
