Product details

The Leopard’s Leap Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot is a medium-bodied, fruit-driven red blend that celebrates the “Classic Collection” philosophy of balance and approachability. Sourced from vineyards in the Stellenbosch and Swartland regions, it combines the backbone and dark fruit of Cabernet Sauvignon (typically 85%) with the lush, rounded texture of Merlot (15%). The wine is matured for 8 to 12 months using French oak staves, which imparts a subtle “toasty” complexity without overwhelming the vibrant fruit. It is an unpretentious, elegant red that prides itself on being “smooth from start to finish.”

Food Pairing

The Leopard’s Leap blend is a "culinary chameleon," designed specifically to enhance a wide variety of flavours. It is the ultimate companion for a Classic Beef Pot Roast or Grilled Flat Iron Steak with Blue Cheese Butter. Its soft tannins and spicy nuances make it a spectacular match for Cape Malay Lamb Curry or a traditional South African Bobotie. For a casual weeknight pairing, try it with a hearty Spaghetti Bolognese or a platter of Matured Gouda and Salami. If you're hosting a braai, it is "Special" when served alongside Lamb Chops with a sweet mint glaze.
