Product information "Leopard's Leap Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2017"

Leopard's Leap Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot pampers the senses with a complex bouquet of red fruits, cassis, fine oak notes, cinnamon and mocha. The silky and elegant palate is caressed by notes of intense berry fruit, paired with soft nuances of oak. Leopards Leap wines are characterized by their popular and drinkable style and always offer excellent value for money.

The Cape Leopard Trust
A small population of Cape leopards lives in the mountains of the Cape Winelands. This species grows only about half the size of its northern relatives and is highly endangered. The Cape Leopard Trust, with significant financial support from Leopard's Leap Wines, is working to protect these magnificent animals and their natural habitat.

Treatment in the cellar

Das handgelesene Traubengut wurde separat entrappt und gequetscht und fermentierte temperaturgeregelt in Tanks aus Edelstahl. Nach Abschluss der Gärung wurde der Tank mit Eichen-Staven versehen, woraufhin die malolaktische Fermentierung ihren Abschluss fand. Die Weine wurden verschnitten und reiften 6-8 Monate lang mit Staven-Einsatz im Stahltank.
